Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting scheduling grant information by a TFCI in Node B controlled scheduling of uplink packet transmission. In one embodiment, a scheduling command resulting from Node B controlled scheduling is mapped onto a TFCI and transmitted on the downlink. In another embodiment, an ACK/NACK signal determining retransmission of uplink packet data is mapped onto a TFCI and transmitted on the downlink.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is disclosed that receives variable sized packets in a communication system. When a packet is received with a certain burst size, an LLR of the received packet is compared with a preset threshold and the burst size is changed. The received packet is combined with a stored packet. The stored packet is updated with the combined packet. The changed burst size is reported to the transmitter. The communication system can transmit variable sized packets according to a channel environment, and can reduce the probability of the occurrence of a decoding error and prevent waste of resources used due to re-transmission.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for sharing a DL-DPCH in an NB-TDD system. Two time slots at the same position in two subframes forming one radio frame are allocated as a DPCH for two UEs. A Node B arranges data and control information for the UEs in the two time slots and transmits the data and control information to the UEs. The UEs extract the data and control information from the two time slots and acquire the data and control information destined for the individual UEs.
Abstract:
A joint channel and Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation apparatus and method simplified to efficiently estimate a channel impulse response associated with a spatially selective transmission channel occurring in a mobile radio channel are provided. To uniformly process all directions, angles associated with a beam are predetermined according to a preset method. This selection calculates a linear system model with regular spatial sampling using regular spatial separation of beam angles. The novel beam forming compensates for a difference between an adaptive array antenna and a sector type antenna using appropriate beam steering according to the calculated linear system model, thereby improving performance and facilitating implementation.
