Abstract: A wireless user equipment device transmits a control channel and a data channel. Each of the control channel and the data channel include a plurality of time slots. The control channel is configured to transmit control information and includes both transmission time slots and non-transmission time slots. The data channel is configured to transmit data packets. The device further includes a processor configured to schedule at least one data packet for transmission in at least one data channel time slot that is concurrent to at least one control channel transmission time slot, and a transmission module configured to transmit the at least one data packet in the at least one data channel time slot that is concurrent to the at least one control channel transmission time slot.

Abstract: A method for optimizing throughput in a wireless communication system is disclosed. A target metric is estimated based on previous acknowledgment data. A channel quality indicator offset is determined based on the target metric. A channel quality indicator is adjusted based on the channel quality indicator offset. The channel quality indicator indicates the quality of a wireless transmission channel.

Abstract: A wireless communications method is provided. The method includes analyzing one or more channel conditions from a wireless communication and automatically adjusting a frequency tracking loop gain or a time tracking loop gain in view of the channel conditions.

Abstract: A method for detecting a channel condition for a wireless communication device is provided. The method includes measuring a plurality of power levels as received by the wireless communication device; determining a metric based on the plurality of power level measurements; and generating a high-speed fading indication signal based on the metric. An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed herein.

Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed which predict the channel quality indicator (CQI) in High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA). The accuracy of CQI is crucial for HSDPA performance. In some HSDPA systems the CQI may be as much as three (3) subframes stale. Accordingly, the prediction of CQI values is required in order to efficiently schedule data for transmission over the communication channel. Various embodiments disclose first order adaptive IIR filters which are significantly less complex than the finite impulse response (FIR) counterparts and achieve similar accuracy. By minimizing the mean squared error (MSE), an exact gradient descent algorithm may be used as well as two embodiment pseudolinear regression algorithms.
