  • Publication number: 20140050151
    Abstract: It is described a method for reporting, in a link quality report (53), link (54) quality information from a link quality report sending station (51) to a link quality report receiving station (52). The link quality report receiving station (52) is capable of using different modulation schemes for communicating to the link quality report sending station (51). Depending on a priority of each of at least two of said different modulation schemes, at least one of said at least two modulation schemes are selected for inclusion of corresponding link (54) quality information in said link quality report (53). According to an embodiment, the priority of each of said at least two modulation schemes is determined depending on a link (54) quality parameter value.

  • Patent number: 8437327
    Abstract: Techniques are presented for repetition on both uplink and downlink Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCH) channels. For instance, an exemplary method is disclosed that is performed by a mobile node. The method includes receiving from a network node a first block of data over a downlink SACCH channel, and storing the first block of data. The method also includes, subsequent to receiving the first block of data, receiving from the network node a second block of data over the downlink SACCH channel. The method further includes attempting to decode the second block of data. The method additionally includes, in response to a failure in the attempt to decode the second block of data, combining into a combination the second block with the stored first block of data. The method also includes attempting to decode the combination.
