| 20080240151 | POWER CONTROL IN ORTHOGONAL SUB-CHANNELS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A method and apparatus for power control in a wireless communication involves establishing at least two orthogonal sub-channels within a channel for communication and controlling transmitted power in each sub-channel independently. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080274698 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INDICATING A TEMPORARY BLOCK FLOW TO WHICH A PIGGYBACKED ACK/NACK FIELD IS ADDRESSED - A method and an apparatus for indicating a temporary block flow (TBF) to which a piggybacked acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (PAN) field is addressed. A method and apparatus of performing receive processing to reduce the probability of false acceptance of erroneous PANs are also disclosed. A transmit station generates a PAN check sequence (PCS) and performs a channel coding on a PAN field and the PCS. The transmit station scrambles the encoded bits of the PAN field and the PCS with a TBF-specific scrambling code. Because of the scrambling, the PCS decoding at a receive station will pass if the data block is received by an intended receive station, while the PCS decoding will fail if received by a non-intended receive station. Alternatively, the scrambling may be performed before the channel coding. Alternatively, the transmit station may combine the PAN field and a temporary flow identity (TFI) to generate a PCS. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080285506 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INDICATING A TEMPORARY BLOCK FLOW TO WHICH A PIGGYBACKED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT/NON-ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FIELD IS ADDRESSED - A method and apparatus for indicating a temporary block flow (TBF) to which a piggybacked acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (PAN) field is addressed. A PAN check sequence (PCS) is created, for example using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) encoding. The PCS is masked with a temporary flow identity (TFI) assigned to a TBF or a mask generated based on the TFI. A data block including the PAN field and the masked PCS is then processed for transmission. The mask may be generated by converting the TFI using an (M, N) code, M being not greater than the number of bits of the PCS and N being the number of bits of the TFI. With this scheme, a TFI may be transmitted in a PAN field without using explicit bits to identify the TBF. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080307284 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INDICATING A TEMPORARY BLOCK FLOW TO WHICH A PIGGYBACKED ACK/NACK FIELD IS ADDRESSED - A method and apparatus for indicating a temporary block flow (TBF) to which a piggybacked acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (PAN) field is addressed are disclosed. A sequence may be generated from a temporary flow identity (TFI) to which the PAN field is addressed and masked with a PAN check sequence (PCS). A radio block including a PAN field and a masked PCS is transmitted. The PCS may be masked with one of TFIs which is selected in accordance with a rule pre-agreed. A secondary identifier may indicate a TBF to which the PAN field is addressed. A special value may be used to represent all TBFs assigned and a secondary identifier may indicate a TBF to which the PAN field is addressed. A special value on the PAN field may be used for control purposes for indicating an action affecting a group of receiving stations listening to the radio block. | 12-11-2008 |

| 20090086685 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TIME-BASED FAST ACK/NACK RESPONSE OPERATION WITH ENHANCED GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICE 2 UPLINK - A method and apparatus for time-based fast positive acknowledgement (ACK)/negative acknowledgement (NACK) reporting (FANR) operation with enhanced general packet radio service 2 uplink (HUGE) are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configures downlink FANR operation and EGPRS-2 mode uplink transmission not to be in conflict. A modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the EGPRS-2 mode may be limited to an MCS containing at most two RLC data blocks. Alternatively, three or more piggybacked ACK/NACK (PAN) bits may be used for a time-based FANR operation if an EGPRS-2 mode is configured. Alternatively, at least one PAN bit may indicate an ACK/NACK for a group of RLC data blocks. The number of PAN bits for a time-based FANR operation may be configured by the network. The downlink FANR operation may be dynamically switched between time-based and SSN-based. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090086686 | METHOD TO SIMPLIFY UPLINK STATE FLAG (USF) DECODING COMPLEXITY FOR REDHOT A AND B WIRELESS TRANSMIT/RECEIVE UNITS - A method and apparatus allow for reliable and low-complexity decoding of EGPRS2 communication bursts when RTTI and BTTI equipment operate on the same timeslot(s). Various configurations for the Uplink State Flag (USF) mapping employ adjustable bit swapping of some or all USF channel-coded bits in communication bursts. Configurations that allow for an adjustable use of the symbol mapping stage in the transmitter and receiver to allow for more throughput and/or reduced complexity are also disclosed. Admissible mapping rules are known to the receiver and transmitter and therefore reduce the complexity of decoding this information. In order to increase throughput for EGPRS2 communication bursts, RTTI transmissions of different modulation types or EGPRS/EGPRS2 modulation and coding schemes during a BTTI interval are introduced that allow for reliable USF decoding and reduced decoder complexity. | 04-02-2009 |

A determination is made whether a received radio block is intended for the current WTRU. The received signal quality of the radio block is measured if the radio block is intended for the current WTRU. Bits from the PAN field are included in determining the received signal quality of the radio block based on a preconfigured option. The radio block measurement is included in a measurement report if a data header of the radio block is not addressed to the current WTRU but the PAN field is addressed to the current WTRU. | 05-28-2009 |

A pair of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) may be multiplexed onto a timeslot using a same pulse format. A WTRU may communicate on a network using MUROS technology both on the downlink (DL) and the uplink (UL), and may use a first pulse format on the DL and a second different pulse format on the UL. Pulse format support information to facilitate MUROS operation may be communicated between a network and a WTRU. The support information may be communicated in Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages. A network may allow for concurrent operation of WTRUs using different types of MUROS technology. For example, a network may include WTRUs using MUROS based on orthogonal sub-channels (OSC) while other WTRUs use MUROS based on an interference-canceling technology such as Downlink Advanced Receiver Performance (DARP) Phase I or Phase II. | 08-13-2009 |
