Abstract: A user terminal of a radio system arranged to operate a frequency band subdivided into one or more carrier bands, each of which carries a cyclic set of consecutive time slot. The user terminal comprises a first receiver part adjustable to a defined carrier band, and a second receiver part adjustable to a defined carrier band; wherein the first and the second receiver parts are separately operable. The user terminal comprises also allocation means for allocating to a radio channel at least a first timeslot and a second timeslot, wherein the first timeslot and the second timeslot may belong to different carrier bands. The first receiver part and the second receiver part are adjusted to the carrier bands of the first timeslot and of the second timeslot according to a predetermined scheme. The invented structure improved data throughput of the transmission by providing improved quality of transmission through diversity and added capacity through the multicarrier operation.

Abstract: A method, mobile device, network device, system, and software are devised for soft value scaling with a single antenna interference cancellation (SAIC) receiver, or with an interference rejection combining (IRC) receiver, in an unsynchronized network. A signal is received having interference that is caused by a non-synchronized network. A desired power level of that signal is calculated. Then the desired power is compared to a total power of the signal, in order to identify a portion of a received burst having substantial interference. Then that portion of the received burst is weighted, to reduce its importance during decoding.

Abstract: The specification and drawings present a new method, system, apparatus and software product for using a new modified dual symbol rate (MDSR) in an uplink direction in mobile communication systems. The communication between the mobile station and the network element may be performed within evolved GSM/EDGE radio access networks. The MDSR can be for example one and a half times a symbol rate of an uplink speech service, e.g., the current GSM/EDGE symbol rate (13/48 MHz) in the mobile communication system, thus the MDSR may be substantially 13/32 MHz or about 405 kHz. The uplink signal with the MDSR may be modulated, e.g., using a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), e.g., 16-QAM with 16 states and/or a quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK, or ?/4-QPSK) modulation.
