Abstract: A method of adapting a mobile telecommunication system to channel conditions. To control transmission of a data packet from an access network (AN) in both a link adaptation scheme and an ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) scheme, an access terminal (AT) compares the received power of a forward pilot signal received from the AN with a predetermined first threshold, checks errors in the data packet of a received time slot if the reception power is greater than the first threshold, and transmits a signal requesting termination of retransmission of the data packet to the AN if no errors are found in the data packet after decoding.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining a forward data rate and a forward transmission power level in a mobile communication system. An access terminal measures a C/I of a forward pilot channel, determines a forward data rate by matching the measured C/I with a reference C/I, creates a difference between the measured C/I and the reference C/I as margin information, and transmits the determined forward data rate and margin information over a reverse transmission channel. Upon receipt of the forward data rate and margin information, an access network decreases a transmission power level by power corresponding to the margin information and performs forward transmission at the forward data rate at the decreased transmission power level.

Abstract: A channel communication device and method for a mobile communication system using transmission antenna diversity. A base station alternatively transmits signals on a common channel via at least two antennas at first and second intervals. A mobile station estimates a time relationship between the alternatively switched common channel and a user channel and measures the power of the received signals corresponding to the first and second intervals. The mobile station selects an antenna having stronger power by comparing the power of the signal corresponding to the first interval with the power of the signal corresponding to the second interval, and informs the base station of the selected antenna. The base station transmits a dedicated channel via the selected antenna.

Abstract: A receiving device for a mobile station receives signals transmitted from a base station having a time-switched transmission diversity (TSTD) function. In the receiving device, a despreader despreads channel signals which have been transmitted in a TSTD mode of operation. A pilot separator separates a pilot signal from the despread channel signals. A channel estimator generates a channel estimation signal by selecting pilot signals transmitted from a same antenna of a transmitter according to a TSTD pattern of the transmitter. A compensator compensates the channel signals with the channel estimation signal.

Abstract: A power control device for a CDMA communication system using different kinds of spreading codes. In the power control device for a base station device, a first channel generator generates a first channel signal by spreading first input data with an orthogonal code and a second channel generator generates a second channel signal by spreading second input data with a quasi-orthogonal code. The second channel signal has a gain higher than that of the first channel signal. A first gain controller controls power of the first channel signal and a second gain controller controls power of the second channel signal. An adder adds the first channel signal to the second channel signal, and a spreader spreads a signal output from the adder with a pseudo-random noise (PN) code.

Abstract: A device and method for outer-loop power control in a discontinuous transmission mode in a CDMA mobile communication system. In an outer-loop power control method for a non-frame data transmission period of a dedicated control channel (DCCH) which transmits frame data discontinuously, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of power control bits (PCBs) received at a mobile station from a base station is measured for the frame period, and it is determined whether the frame has errors based on the measured SNR. A closed-loop power control threshold is increased if a frame error exists and decreased if no frame errors exist.

Abstract: A device and method are provided for limiting a power of a signal transmitted through any antenna to a maximum transmission power of the antenna in a TSTD (Time-Switched Transmission Diversity) transmitter of a base station of a mobile communication system. In a TSTD transmitter including at least two antennas and a pattern storage for storing a maximum transmission power limit value and switching patterns of a plurality of user data to be transmitted through the antennas, transmission powers assigned to antennas are measured upon receipt of new user data. A switching pattern is determined such that a value obtained by adding one of the transmission powers to a transmission power of the new user data does not exceed the maximum transmission power limit value.

Abstract: A device and method are provided for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio of a mobile station's transmit power in a mobile communication system by spreading and modulating the transmission data by a complex spreading sequence. The complex spreading sequence is generated to have a plurality of chips and a phase difference of 90° between every two successive complex chips in response to each chip of a PN (Pseudo Noise) sequence. The device and method flexibly control the mobile transmit power by limiting its peak-to-average power ratio to a specific range and thus confining the mobile transmit power to a linear characteristic portion in a characteristic curve of a power amplifier. The phase of the complex spreading sequence is prevented from shifting by 180° (i.e., &pgr;) to maintain the mobile transmit power in the linear portion of the power amplifier characteristic curve.
