摘要:
Mobile communication system equipment avoids interfering with another transmitter's operation. Sensing information indicating whether the other transmitter's signal has been detected is received from remote sensors, wherein each of the remote sensors is situated at a respective one of two or more sensor locations. The sensing information and information about the sensor locations is used to ascertain one or more exclusion boundaries needed to avoid interfering with the other transmitter's use of the spectral resource. Beamforming parameters are ascertained that will enable the main node to transmit within one or more predefined geographical areas except for any portion of a predefined area located on a far side of the one or more exclusion boundaries. Two or more adjusted signals are produced as a function of the beamforming parameters and one or more signals to be transmitted. The adjusted signals are transmitted from respective ones of two or more antennas.

Methods and apparatus for adaptively transmitting data in a wireless communication network are disclosed, in which channel conditions between a mobile terminal and two or more base stations in an active set are evaluated and used to select a transmission mode from a set of available downlink transmission modes including a non-interference-coordinated point-to-point transmission mode as well as at least one of a multi-cell single-frequency-network transmission mode and an interference-coordinated point-to-point transmission mode. Using the dynamic transmission mode selection described herein, a higher cell-edge throughput in HSDPA systems may be achieved.

A signal-to-interference estimate is generated using unknown data symbols in place of or in addition to pilot symbols. Data received over a data channel (traffic channel or control channel) are collected. The data symbols are then used to compute an observation metric based on deviations of the data symbols from a predetermined set of possible data symbols, wherein one of the data symbols and symbol constellation is normalized. A data channel signal-to-interference ratio is then computed based on the observation metric.
摘要:
An SIR estimate of a communication signal in a wireless communication system receiver is calculated based on soft bit values output by a nonlinear detector. The average amplitude of the detector output soft bits is estimated. The average power of the detector output soft bits is estimated, e.g., as a mean-square or variance. An SIR of the communication signal is estimated based on the soft bit amplitude and power estimates. In particular, the SIR is estimated as the ratio of the square of soft bit amplitude to the difference between the mean square soft bit power and the square of soft bit amplitude, or the ratio of the square of soft bit amplitude to the variance. In either case, the SIR estimate may be scaled to obtain the desired units. The communication signal may be a received signal, or a simulated signal generated using channel estimates obtained from, e.g., a pilot channel.
摘要:
A base station receives channel quality reports from a plurality of mobile terminals. The channel quality reports from the mobile terminals indicate the signal power of the signals received by the mobile terminals from the base station and one or more interference parameters relating to the power of impairment components contributing to the total impairment of the received signal during a first time interval. The base station computes an estimated channel quality indication for a second time interval subsequent to the first time interval based on expected variations in the powers of the impairment components. The estimated channel quality indication for the second time interval is used by the base station to schedule the mobile terminals and to determine the transmission format.

摘要:
A method is disclosed of scheduling up-link transmissions for a number of terminals of a wireless communication system into a number of groups, wherein each group comprises terminals intended for simultaneous up-link transmission during a respective period of time. A subset metric may be calculated for each of a number of subsets of terminals based on transmissions received from the terminals of the subset. The subset metric is indicative of a simultaneous transmission suitability measure for the terminals of the subset. The subsets may be processed in subset metric order, starting with the subset having a subset metric indicating a least suitability of simultaneous transmission. During the processing, each terminal of the subset that is not already scheduled in a group may be scheduled in a group that does not already comprise another terminal of the subset. Information indicative of the period of time during which a scheduled terminal is intended to transmit may be transmitted to each of the scheduled terminals. Corresponding computer program product, scheduler and arrangement are also disclosed.
