Abstract: A first transceiver determines whether a second transceiver has properly decoded at least one of a received data packet and control information associated with the corresponding data packet based on an estimated probability. The estimated probability is indicative of whether the second transceiver has properly decoded at least one of the data packet and associated control information.

Abstract: In a method for determining a transmitted data rate, a received data frame may be decoded using different candidate rates to generate a first decoded bit sequence associated with each candidate rate. A first frame quality indicator and a first error metric may be generated for each of the candidate rates based on the associated first decoded bit sequence and a decoding metric for the associated first decoded bit sequence. One of the candidate rates may be selected as the transmitted data rate based on the first frame quality indicators, the first error metrics and an error metric threshold.

Abstract: At a base station receiver in a CDMA wireless communications system, in order to reduce reliance on the parameter values transmitted on a packet data control channel (PDCCH) to properly detect the high speed packet data transmitted on a packet data channel (PDCH) with which the PDCCH is code-division-multiplexed, data detection is performed using different possible values for at least one of the parameters and determining if a data packet derived from the PDCH detected under the different values produces a detected data packet that passes a CRC check. If a data packet derived from the received PDCH using a possible parameter value passes the CRC check, then the data packet is delivered to the output and an ACK is transmitted back to the transmitting mobile terminal.

Abstract: A first transceiver determines whether a second transceiver has properly decoded at least one of a received data packet and control information associated with the corresponding data packet based on an estimated probability. The estimated probability is indicative of whether the second transceiver has properly decoded at least one of the data packet and associated control information.

Abstract: A decoding method is carried out in a receiver configured to accept format information relating to sequences of input data, to use format information in the decoding of each input sequence, and to issue an acknowledgement signal in the event that an input sequence is successfully decoded. The method involves receiving a format message pertaining to a new input sequence, searching a candidate set of format indices an index best satisfying a criterion for matching to the format message, and selecting the index giving the best match. Before searching, the receiver reads the acknowledgement signals issued in response to the decoding or attempted decoding of recent input sequences. If the acknowledgement signals satisfy an appropriate condition, the search is limited to fewer than all the indices in the candidate set. The format information that corresponds to the selected index is used in decoding the new input sequence.
