Abstract: Disclosed is a method for mobile assisted sleep mode to reduce current drain in packet based mobile systems. The method comprising the step of receiving (102) from a network a channel condition threshold. Then, monitoring (104) a channel condition while in sleep mode. Then exiting (110) sleep mode in response to the determination (108) that the monitored channel condition is greater than the channel condition threshold.

Abstract: A method of block puncturing for turbo code based incremental redundancy includes a first step (1200) of coding an input data stream into systematic bits and parity bits. A next step (1202) includes loading the systematic bits and parity bits into respective systematic and parity block interleavers in a column-wise manner. A next step (1204) includes selecting a predefined redundancy. A next step (1206) includes outputting bits from the block interleavers in a row-wise manner in accordance with the selected predefined redundancy.

Abstract: A communications system for reducing bit errors in a received data sequence provides a method for generating candidate code-word sequences for evaluation by a CRC decoder. The system may determine a most-likely received sequence using the probable code-word list of candidate sequences. The number of candidate sequences may be reduced using computational complexity reduction methods. A communications device also provides a candidate sequence generator for use with a CRC decoder to determine a most-likely received sequence and to reduce bit errors in a received sequence.

Abstract: A wireless communication terminal that communicates on a plurality of sub-carriers divided into a plurality of frequency bands, wherein each frequency band includes at least one sub-carrier. The terminal measures (310) a channel quality indicator (CQI) for a plurality of frequency bands, identifies (320) a subset of frequency bands for which the channel quality indicator has been measured based on a subset criterion, and transmits (330) a report identifying a subset of frequency bands for which a channel quality indicator has been measured or frequency bands not in the subset. In some embodiments, the report also includes a subset CQI value associated with at least the subset of frequency bands.

The terminal successively generates channel quality indicator (CQI) measurement information reports based on CQI measurements, wherein each report includes non-differential channel quality indicator measurement information for at least one of the frequency bands and differential channel quality indicator measurement information for all other frequency bands.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for communications channel symbol recovery that improves equalizer performance adds together the log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) of different decision delays rather than using LLRs corresponding only to a single decision delay. A low complexity method comprises, determining an initial coarse delay and a set of fine delays (1003), estimating a training sequence and filter taps set for each fine delay (1007), determining an error function for each fine delay (1009), and linearly combining the filter taps (1013) for determining the symbol estimates (1017).

Abstract: A wireless receiver and method employs a forward/backward recursive covariance based filter coefficient generation scheme for equalizing a received wireless signal, such as a CDMA signal or other suitable signal. A forward/backward recursive covariance based filter coefficient generating circuit (206) includes a forward recursion portion (300) that receives data representing channel estimates (18) of a communication channel, and data representing an auto-covariance matrix (22). The forward recursion portion (300) produces a set of output values (306) from each iteration stage (400a–400n) of the forward recursion portion (300). The set of output values (306) are stored and a backward recursion portion (302) obtains the set of output values (306) and also receives the data representing the auto-covariance matrix (22), and generates filter coefficients (208) based on this information.
