Abstract:
The present invention is applicable to the field of communications technologies, and provides an in-synchronization and out-of-synchronization handling method and apparatus. The method includes: reporting, by a physical layer, an invalid frame indication to a high layer, where the invalid frame indication is used to indicate an invalid frame, and the invalid frame is a frame not used for detecting out-of-synchronization, so as to count the number of frames that are assured to be out of synchronization within timing; and when the number of frames that are assured to be out of synchronization within the timing reaches a predefined value, determining that a radio link is out of synchronization. By using the present invention, the modified timing of the timer and the number of in-synchronization indications correspond to each other.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for encoding feedback signal is provided. The method includes: encoding feedback signals of three carriers to output a bit sequence; and transmitting the bit sequence on a High Speed-Dedicated Physical Control Channel (HS-DPCCH). The encoding the feedback signals of the three carriers may specifically include: mapping the feedback signals of the three carriers into a codeword, in which the codeword can be selected from a codebook, and codewords in the codebook satisfy a particular code distance relationship. The method for jointly encoding feedback signals of three carriers in a Ternary Cell (TC) mode is provided. Feedback signals are transmitted over a single code channel. Therefore, power overhead is reduced, and system performance is improved.
