Abstract:
In one embodiment, a physical random access channel (PRACH) is used in communicating in a slotted wireless communication system. The slotted system uses repeating radio frame structure for communication. The PRACH is associated with a set of characteristics comprising: a set of channelization codes associated with the PRACH; at least one time slot associated with the PRACH; and a set of subchannels associated with the PRACH, the subchannels associated with a single time slot of the radio frames. In another embodiment, access service classes (ASCs) are separted in a wireless slotted communication system. Each ASC is associated with a unique set of channelization codes and subchannels of a physical random access channel (PRACH). The subchannels are associated with a single time slot of radio frames of the wireless slotted communication system.

A code is produce for use in scrambling or descrambling data associated with a high speed shared control channel (HS-SSCH) for a particular user equipment. A user identification of the particular user equipment comprises L bits. A null rate convolutional encoder processes at least the bits of the user identification by a null rate convolutional code to produce the code.
Abstract:
A transmission power level for a user equipment in a wireless time division duplex communication system using code division multiple access is determined. An interference level is measured. A pathloss estimate is determined. A long term average of pathloss estimates is determined. A first weighting factor, null, is determined by the determined pathloss estimate, producing a weighted pathloss estimate. (1nullnull) is multiplied to the determined long term average of pathloss estimates, producing a weighted long term pathloss estimate. A target signal to interference ratio is provided. The target signal to interference ratio is updated using outer loop power commands. A transmission power level of the user equipment is determined by adding the weighted pathloss estimate to the weighted long term pathloss estimate to the measured interference level to the updated target signal to interference ratio to a constant value.
Abstract:
Outer loop/weighted open loop power control apparatus controls transmission power levels in a spread spectrum time division duplex communication user equipment (UE). The user equipment receives a communication including an transmitted power level and measures its received power level. Based in part on the measured power level and the transmitted power level, a path loss estimate is determined. A quality of the path loss estimate is also determined. The transmission power level for a communication from the user equipment is based on in part weighting the path loss estimate in response to the estimate's quality.
Abstract:
A wireless communication method system for detecting and correcting transmission errors. The system includes at least one Wireless Transmit/Receive Unit (WTRU) in communication with a Node B. The Node B sends a transmission signal (e.g., containing a protocol data unit (PDU)) to the WTRU. The WTRU generates a Revert Message having a first field and a second field to indicate whether the transmission signal was successfully received at the WTRU. The WTRU inserts a NACK or ACK message into the first field and inserts a respective channel quality identifier (CQI) value corresponding to a worst or best possible value of CQI into the second field. The WTRU transmits the Revert Message to the Node B. The Node B compares the contents of the first field to the contents of the second field. The Node B resends the transmission signal to the WTRU if the contents of the first and second fields are not logically consistent.
Abstract:
A sequence of codes are provided for potential assignment to a user in a wireless hybrid time division multiple access (TDMA)/code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system. At least one timeslot is selected to support the communication. For each selected timeslot, at least one code is selected. If more than one code is selected, the selected codes are consecutive in the provided codes sequence. For at least one of the selected timeslots, an identifier of a first and last code of the selected consecutive codes is signaled. The user receives the signaled identifier and uses the selected consecutive codes, as identified, to support the communication.
Abstract:
The present invention is a base station which receives a communication signal over an uplink common control channel and measures interference on the uplink common control channel in response to the received signal. A channel quality measuring device included in the base station monitors the channel quality of the uplink common control channel and provides a quality margin for the communication signal. A spreading device, then, transmits the quality margin over a downlink control channel in response to the quality margin.

A system for balancing a signal having I and Q components includes means for cross correlating the I and Q components to produce a cross correlation product; means for adjusting the gain of each I and Q signal component in accordance with said cross correlation product; and means for adding one component with the adjustable gain of the other component to produce a phase-balanced signal.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system which comprises a plurality of base stations and a user equipment. Each base station transmits a common primary synchronization code (PSC) in a primary synchronization channel at a different timing within a system frame, and a midamble code in a broadcast channel. A transmitted power level of the PSC and midamble code are at a common fixed ratio for each base station. The user equipment (UE) is capable of conducting cell search and includes a receiver for receiving said PSCs, a signal power measuring device for measuring the power level of received PSCs and identifying a frame timing of received PSCs which exceed a power threshold, and a processor for analyzing data signals received in the primary synchronization channel associated with the PSC with the highest power level of the received PSCs with a threshold exceeding power level. The processor also synchronizes or maintains synchronization with the base station associated with the highest PSC, the data signals including secondary synchronization codes.
Abstract:
A system and method for configuring the system for configuring a wireless multi-cell communication to provide multimedia broadcast services (MBMS) to a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). The cells of the communication system are organized into a plurality of sets of one or more cells. Resource units are assigned to each set of cells in the communication system. The assigned resource units are allocated in each cell of the communication system for MBMS transmission. The WTRUs receive information indicating how to access the resource units allocated for MBMS transmission. The WTRUs receive the MBMS from one or more of the cells of the communication system.
