20100304744 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING SEARCHES WITH MULTIPLE RECEIVE DIVERSITY (RXD) SEARCH MODES - Techniques for performing searches by a user equipment (UE) equipped with multiple receive antennas are described. In an aspect, the UE may support multiple receive diversity (R×D) search modes. Each R×D search mode may be different from each remaining R×D search mode in how correlation is performed, how correlation results are combined, and/or how search results are reported for the multiple receive antennas. The UE may select an R×D search mode from among the multiple R×D search modes and may perform at least one step of a search in accordance with the selected R×D search mode. In another aspect, the UE may perform a search with interference cancellation to detect cell(s). The UE may determine multiple complex weights for multiple receive antennas such that signals from interfering cells can be attenuated. The UE may perform a search to detect cell(s) using the complex weights. | 12-02-2010 |

20130072250 | OUTAGE BASED OUTER LOOP POWER CONTROL FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS - A slot in a frame of n frames is received at user equipment (UE). Valid slots are detected based on a given validity criterion. The valid slots are classified as outage slots if an estimated signal quality does not exceed an outage signal quality. A total valid slot count and a total outage slot count are accumulated over an outer loop duration spanning a plurality of the slots. The total outage slot count is compared to a preset ratio of the total valid slot count. A target signal quality is updated based on the comparison. | 03-21-2013 |

20120226950 | DATA CLASSIFICATION BASED ON CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK AND DECODER METRIC - A method of data classification for use in a wireless communication system includes obtaining decoder metrics from a decoder. The decoder metrics correspond to data generated by the decoder. The decoder metrics include a symbol error rate (SER) and an energy metric (EM). The method also includes classifying the data into a first category if the data fails a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) check, into a second category if the data passes the CRC check and is determined to be unreliable, or into a third category if the data passes the CRC check and is determined to be reliable. A reliability of the data is determined based on the decoder metrics and an EM threshold. | 09-06-2012 |
20120294169 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING OVERHEAD OF SEARCHER TASKS FOR DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION - At least one feature pertains to a method of communication that comprises aligning a measurement task that utilizes a resource within a user equipment, such that at least a portion of the measurement task is performed during a time that the resource is enabled in the user equipment, and executing the measurement task during the time that the resource is enabled in the user equipment. In one example, the measurement task may be a searcher task, the resource may comprise receiver circuitry, and the time that the resource is enabled corresponds to a DRX monitoring interval of a downlink channel, such as a high speed shared control channel. By aligning and executing the searcher task during the time that the resource is enabled in the user equipment, searcher overhead may be reduced. Reducing searcher overhead allows the user equipment to save power by disabling the receiver circuitry. | 11-22-2012 |
