摘要： A signaling mechanism informs a Radio Network Controller of the radio access technology associated with data packets forwarded to the Radio Network Controller from base stations supporting multiple radio access technologies. With this information, the Radio Network Controller can associate received data with the corresponding radio access technologies, and thus manage differing physical layer procedures, such as outer-loop power control, for the radio access technologies. In an example method, first and second data units transmitted by a mobile station over first and second radio access technologies, respectively, are forwarded from one or more base stations to a network control node for further processing. A control message associated with at least some of the data units is also sent to the network control node, the control message indicating the radio access technology over which the associated data units were transmitted.

摘要： According to a method and apparatus taught herein, the computation of intermediate combining weights considers impairment correlations common to two received signal streams, but does not account for cross-stream interference attributable to channel reuse between the two streams. Excluding consideration of channel reuse cross-stream interference from the computation of intermediate combining weights simplifies intermediate combining weight computation and increases computational robustness. Further, final combining weights, such as for Generalized Rake combining or equalization combining, may be obtained efficiently from the intermediate combining weights through the use of weight scaling factors, which do account for channel reuse cross-stream interference. Moreover, in at least some instances, the intermediate combining weights are of interest. For example, signal quality estimates for one or both streams may be computed from the corresponding intermediate combining weights.

摘要： In a mobile communication system with a shared downlink traffic channel, the mobile terminals in contention for the downlink traffic channel report channel conditions to the base stations. The base station schedules the mobile terminals based on channel quality estimates from the mobile terminals and selects a transmitter configuration. The transmitter configuration may comprise, for example, the antenna configuration, and/or power and code allocations used by the base station. The base station broadcasts the transmitter configuration to all active and inactive mobile terminals. Knowledge of the transmitter configuration by the inactive mobile terminals improves the accuracy and reliability of the channel quality estimates.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for estimating code-reuse interference associated with a received multi-stream multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signal are disclosed. In an exemplary method, impairment covariance associated with the received multi-stream MIMO signal is measured, and first and second sets of samples for received traffic data symbols are collected, using first and second sets of RAKE combining weights corresponding to effective net channel responses for first and second streams of the multi-stream MIMO signal, respectively. A per-code energy value for at least one stream of the received multi-stream MIMO signal is computed, as a function of the measured impairment covariance, the effective net channel responses for the first and second streams, and the first and second sets of samples. Finally, code-reuse interference associated with the first stream is calculated, as a function of the per-code energy value and the effective net channel response corresponding to the first stream.

摘要： According to the teachings presented herein, a wireless communication apparatus compensates for timing misalignment in its received signal processing. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus estimates a set of path delays for a received signal and sets processing delays on the estimated path delays. The apparatus jointly hypothesizes combinations of fractional timing offsets for two or more paths, and computes a decision metric for each joint hypothesis that indicates the accuracy of the joint hypothesis. As non-limiting examples, the decision metric may be a signal quality metric, or a distance metric (such as between a measured net channel response and an effective net channel response reconstructed as a function of the combination of fractional timing offsets included in the joint hypothesis). The apparatus evaluates the decision metrics to identify a best estimate of timing misalignment, and correspondingly compensates coherent processing of the received signal.

摘要： A model-based technique for estimating signal impairments that can accommodate various transmitted signal configurations, including closed-loop transmit diversity signals and pre-coded MIMO signals, is disclosed. In an exemplary method, an impairment model is constructed for a received composite information signal comprising at least a first data stream transmitted from first and second antennas according to a first antenna weighting vector. The impairment model includes one or more model terms scaled by corresponding scaling parameters, wherein the model terms capture propagation channel effects and are independent of the first antenna weighting vector, and wherein the scaling parameters capture effects of the first antenna weighting vector. A parametric estimate of the impairment covariance is calculated using the impairment model.

摘要： A method and apparatus for generating channel quality information, such as may be used for transmit link adaptation, provide different operating modes, such as a first mode that may be used when propagation channel estimates are not reliable, and a second mode that may be used when the propagation channel estimates are reliable. In one or more embodiments, channel quality information is generated using receiver performance information that characterizes receiver performance in terms of a defined channel quality metric, e.g., supported data rates, for different values of receiver input signal quality over a range of propagation channel realizations. Channel quality information can be generated by selecting channel quality metrics according to receiver input signal quality and a desired probability of meeting a defined performance requirement over a range of propagation channel realizations, or by selecting channel quality metrics according to receiver input signal quality and particularized propagation channel realizations.

摘要： A model-based technique for estimating impairment covariance associated with a MIMO signal is disclosed. In an exemplary method, an impairment model is constructed for a received composite information signal comprising at least a first data stream transmitted from first and second antennas according to a first antenna weighting vector. The impairment model includes first and second model terms corresponding to the first and second antennas, respectively, but in several embodiments does not include a cross-antenna interference term. In another embodiment, an impairment model for a received MIMO signal is constructed by computing an impairment model term for each antenna and an additional term to account for preceding interference in a single-stream MIMO transmission scenario. The impairment terms are grouped so that only two associated scaling terms are unknown; values for the scaling terms are estimated by fitting the model to measured impairment covariance values.
