Disclosed is a code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system having a downlink dedicated physical channel (DL_DPCH) having a downlink dedicated physical control channel (DL_DPCCH) and a downlink dedicated physical data channel (DL_DPDCH). The DL_DPCCH having a transport power control (TPC) field transmitting a TPC command for controlling uplink transport power, a transport format combination indicator (TFCI) field transmitting TFCI indicating a transport format combination of a currently transmitted channel, and a pilot field transmitting a pilot. The DL_DPDCH has first and second data fields transmitting downlink data. If data is normally received over an enhanced uplink dedicated channel (EUDCH), ACK information is generated, and if data is abnormally received over the EUDCH, NACK information is generated. Bits corresponding to the ACK or NACK information are punctured at a position randomly selected from the first and second data fields of the DL_DPDCH, and the ACK or NACK information is inserted into the punctured position before being transmitted.

Method for informing a mobile terminal (MN), which is located in a first cell, on system information of a second cell. In particular, pointers to the system information are transmitted from the base station of the first cell to the mobile node, while the mobile node is located in the first cell. The MN processes said pointer, comprising e.g. information on the transmission format and timing of system information in the second cell. Using an acquisition gap assigned by the network, the MN changes the frequency to the second frequency so as to acquire the system information based on the previously received scheduling information. Thus, the acquisition time for important system information may be reduced, as no Master Information Block on the second frequency has to be processed first, in order to acquire the system information.

A method and an apparatus for data transmission in a mobile telecommunication system supporting an enhanced uplink service are provided. A Transport Format Combination (TFC) selector determines TF information for data to be transmitted through a first data channel not supporting Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) and a second data channel supporting HARQ, and determines gain factors for the first and second data channel, and first and second control channel carrying control information for the first and second data channel. The gain factors are input to a physical channel transmission controller, and the physical channel transmission controller reduces the gain factor for the second channel if total transmit power required for transmission of the channels exceeds the predetermined maximum allowed power. A gain scaler adjusts transmit powers of the channels using the scaled gain factor and gain factors for the first data channel, the first control channel and the second control channel.

The present invention relates to a method and mobile terminal for transmitting data on uplink within a mobile communication system. Further the invention relates to a network entity for allocating uplink resources to such a mobile terminal. When a user equipment is transmitting uplink (UL) data according to allocated resources, it has to indicate the transport format of the current data transmission to Node B by means of UL control signaling. To propose a scheduling scheme which reduces the overhead of uplink control signaling, a method is proposed that achieves a significant reduction of the UL control signaling overhead by considering characteristics of an orthogonal radio access scheme used for evolved UTRA uplink scheme and using differential signaling of the transport format information. Although the invention is particularly suitable for uplink transmissions in an orthogonal single-carrier radio access scheme, it is not restricted to this particular embodiment.

This invention includes methods and packet switches that translate a packet between a switching format and a transport format. One packet switch receives a packet intended for a destination port of a packet switch from a switching fabric of the packet switch and determines, based on the destination port, a treatment to be applied to the packet. The packet switch then applies the treatment to the packet prior to forwarding the packet to the destination port. The treatment may include adding a transport identifier to the packet.

A method and system is described that flexibly and efficiently adjusts uplink data transmission rates in a wireless communication system. In particular, a transport format limit indicator (TFLI) indicating the allowed changes to available transport formats, including, for example, the maximum allowed uplink data transmission rate, is sent by a network node to a user equipment, without a prior request from the user equipment for such information. The user equipment may then adjust its uplink rate based on the TFLI when desired without having to make a request for rate information from the network node.

Transmissions on the dedicated channel are encoded using a set of paramaters that are picked from a large selection of potential parameters. If the remote station does not know the particular set of parameters that were used by a base station, then the remote station would have to attempt to decode the transmission using every set of parameters, until the transmission is decoded correctly. This is an inefficient methodology. Hence, transmission format information is typically transmitted on a broadcast channel so that a remote station could receive the transmission format information. However, the broadcast channel has reliability problems. New methods and apparatus are presented to allow a base station to determine an overlapping set of Walsh code sequences that can be used to send the transmission format information on the dedicated channel, rather than a broadcast channel. Using the overlapping set allows the remote station to decode the information.

A data compression method and data communication system utilizing the same includes: a sender apparatus that compares, in response to input of data to be sent, the input data with the previously sent data in storage.

The sender apparatus represents the delta data in a transport format, and transmits the delta data. The system includes a receiver apparatus that receives the data in a transport format. The receiver apparatus adds, when delta data is present in the received data, a repeated data item to the delta data, and recovers the original data. The sender apparatus sends and receives data to and from the receiver apparatus through a text-based protocol.

The mobile wireless communication device selects a transport format based on the uplink transmit power level. At higher transmit power levels, minimum or zero data rates are chosen to maintain sufficient power for simultaneous voice. Transmit format is specified using a transmit format combination indicator.

Techniques for recovering data transmitted on a physical channel in which the channelization code is not known at the time of the data recovery. A modulated signal is received an processed to provide received samples. A hypothesized channelization code (e.g., an OVSF code in the W-CDMA system) is selected and used to process the received samples to generate partially processed symbols. The hypothesized channelization code is a “base” code that can be used to generate all possible channelization codes that may have been used for the physical channel. Intermediate results representative of the partially processed symbols are stored and, upon determination of the actual channelization code, further processed in accordance with the actual and hypothesized channelization codes to provide the final results.

The present invention provides an improved receiver for data-rate detection in a signal received from a transmitter of a cellular radio communication system including multiple transport channels supporting variable data-rate transmissions. This is accomplished by a computationally efficient technique for data-rate detection. The improved receiver receives data and TFCI associated with each of the multiple transport channels. The receiver then obtains a maximum number of valid transport format combinations and a maximum number of TFCIs that can be formed. The receiver then computes a subset of TFCIs using the obtained maximum number of valid transport format combinations and the maximum number of TFCIs, and decodes from the computed subset of TFCIs within the frame to reduce computation during decoding and to improve data-rate detection reliability.
