ActiveUS20050143114A1Improve accuracyImproved channel estimationPower managementEnergy efficient ICTPrimary stationCommunications system
A communication system comprises a downlink data channel for the transmission of data packets from a primary station to a secondary station and two uplink control channels, a first channel for transmission of status signals to indicate the status of received data packets and a second channel for transmission of pilot information. In operation, on detection (402) of a data packet the secondary station increases (404) the transmission power of the second channel, thereby enabling the primary station to obtain a better estimate of uplink channel properties and hence increase the accuracy with which it can decode the status signal. The secondary station transmits (406) the status signal, typically either an acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgement (NACK), and decreases (408) the transmission power of the second control channel signal. The increase and decrease in power are not necessarily identical, for example as a result of the effects of power control.

Methods and apparatus for performing spectral filtering of channel estimates corresponding to a communications channel used to transmit a multi-tone signal are described. A channel estimate is examined to identify portions where significant multi-path interference is present. Real, as opposed to complex, low pass filters are used to perform spectral filtering on the channel estimate to produce a filtered channel estimate. Values corresponding to portions of the channel estimate determined to correspond to areas where significant multi-path interference is present are replaced with the original unfiltered channel estimate values to generate a selectively filtered channel estimate. By using unfiltered channel estimate values in areas of multi-path interference, the errors introduced in such areas by real filtering are avoided without the need to resort to complex filtering.
