An apparatus 300 for a cellular communication system (100) comprises a buffer (303) which receives data for transmission over an air interface (115). The buffer (303) is coupled to a scheduler (305) which schedules the data and allocates the physical resource of the air interface (115). The transmissions are performed using a retransmission scheme such as a Hybrid-Automatic Repeat reQuest scheme. A load processor (309) determines a load characteristic associated with the scheduler (305) and a target controller (311) sets a target parameter for the retransmission scheme in response to the load characteristic. Specifically, a block error rate target may be set in response to a load level of a cell or plurality of cells. A transmission controller (307) sets a transmission parameter for a transmission in response to the target parameter and a transmitter (301) transmits the data using the transmission parameter. Accordingly, an operating point of the retransmission scheme may be dynamically adjusted thereby reducing overall latency.

An adaptive quality control loop for link rate adaptation based on modulation and / or coding schemes (also referred to as "MCS levels") and one or more spreading codes that adaptively selects channel condition thresholds in real-time without measuring all the factors that affect selecting optimal channel condition thresholds. The adaptive quality control loop involves adjusting the channel condition thresholds with variable up and down steps based on target quality metrics along with measurements such as error detection results, relative frequencies of visiting each MCS level, and transmitted data rates, wherein the target quality metrics can be a block error rate or bit error rate target criterion. If the target quality metric is a block error rate target criterion, the variable step is determined using a desired MCS error rate based on MCS probabilities, MCS error rates and the block error rate target criterion. If the target quality metric is a bit error rate target criterion, the variable step is determined using a desired MCS error rate based on MCS probabilities, MCS error rates, average rate of bit errors, data rate, and the bit error rate target criterion.

To perform link adaptation at radio interfaces of an enhanced packet data cellular network the system behavior is simulated for different C / I conditions. Two sets of tables are obtained, each table including upgrade and downgrade thresholds expressed in terms of Block Error Rate (BLER). The tables are specialized for taking into account EGPRS type II hybrid ARQ, Incremental Redundancy (IR). Transmitted blocks are checked for FEC and results are sent to the network that continuously updates BLER. A reliability filter output is used to decide the weight between new and old measurements. IR efficiency is tested for each incoming block and an indicative variable IR_status is filtered. Each threshold of BLER to be used is obtained by linear interpolation between the tabulated threshold without IR and with perfect IR, both weighed with filtered IR_status. Filtered BLER is compared with interpolated thresholds for testing the incoming of a MCS switching condition.

The invention discloses a segmented cyclic redundancy check method for polarization codes mainly in order to solve the problems of high decoding complexity and high block error rate in the prior art. According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the steps as follows: first, the correct probability of the estimated value of each bit channel is calculated, and a channel for transmitting non-fixed bits is selected according to the probability; then, according to the correct probability of the estimated value of the channel for transmitting non-fixed bits, an information bit sequence is divided into sub information bit sequences, and segmented CRC check is carried out; next, polarization coding is carried out on the bit sequence joining in the segmented CRC check; and finally, the coded sequence is transmitted in the channel. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantage that the method reduces the decoding complexity, improves the block error rate of decoding, and can be used to reduce the transmission error probability in the process of wireless communication.

A wireless base station sends transmission parameters that specify a control signal coding rate and a data signal coding rate which satisfy a BLER (Block Error Rate) required for a control signal and a data signal in a TTI (Transmit Time Interval) scheduled in response to a transmission request from a mobile station.

In one embodiment of the method of adaptively selecting an airlink coding scheme in a telecommunications network, a coding scheme operating region is determined based on a currently used coding scheme and measurements representative of a block error rate. A block error coding scheme is determined based on the determined coding scheme operating region. In another embodiment of the method of adaptively selecting an airlink coding scheme in a telecommunications network, a first coding scheme is determined based on measurements representative of one or more conditional channel quality metrics, and a second coding scheme is determined based on measurements representative of a block error rate. One of the first and second coding schemes is selected as the coding scheme.

An improved acknowledgement (ACK) prioritization scheme is disclosed that provides ACKs with a lower block error rate (BLER) (as opposed to data) over an air interface, provides a separate radio bearer for ACKs, and successively increases the priority of ACKs for each retransmission required. A lower BLER target for ACKs may be achieved by an increase in transmit (Tx) power, additional coding for the radio bearer, or the use of diversity or hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) schemes. After packets are identified as either data or an ACK, they are sent to separate Tx buffers over separate radio bearers. Because the ACKs are transmitted over separate bearers and Tx buffers as compared to the data, ACKs are never queued behind the data, and are effectively prioritized as compared to the data. When retransmissions are required for an ACK packet, the scheduling prioritization is increased successively for each ACK retransmission required.

Method to perform link adaptation at the radio interfaces of an enhanced packet data cellular network handling several Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS) for maximizing data throughput. In a preliminary off-line step the system behaviour, in terms of net throughput of the various available MCSs, is simulated for different C / l conditions. From the simulation two sets of tables are obtained, each table including upgrade and downgrade thresholds expressed in terms of Block Error Rate (BLER). Thresholds correspond to switching points from an MCs to the two available MCSs having the immediate less or more protection. The two sets of tables are referred to higher or lower diversity RF environments and are further specialized for taking into account EGPRS type II hybrid ARQ, namely Incremental Redundancy (IR). During transmission the transmitted blocks are checked for FEC and the results are sent to the network. The network continuously updates BLER using exponential smoothing. In order to achieve the correct time response, in spite of that RLC blocks can be received or not, a reliability filter is provided whose output is used to decide the weight between the new and old measurements to make the BLER filter impulse response exponentially decreasing with time. The IR efficiency is tested for each incoming block and an indicative variable IR status is filtered using the same approach used for BLER. Each actual threshold of BLER to be used in link adaptation is obtained by a linear interpolation between the tabulated threshold without IR and with perfect IR, both weighed with filtered IR status. Filtered BLER is then compared with said interpolated thresholds for testing the incoming of a MCS switching condition. Power control pursues the goal of maintaining constant QoS peak throughput per time slot(Fig 16).

A communication terminal device and a reception environment reporting method produce a more excellent throughput, by making a report of a reception environment with higher accuracy. An SIR measuring section measures an SIR from a reception signal that has been received from a base transceiver station.

A CQI correcting section corrects the CQI value that has been calculated by the CQI converter, in accordance with the block error rate. A CQI transmitter transmits the CQI value that has been corrected by the CQI correcting section, to the base transceiver station.
