  • Publication number: 20110200016
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for signaling retransmission-related information in a multi-carrier wireless communication system supporting three or more carriers. In an example method, a wireless transceiver forms a first ACK/NACK group by jointly coding ACK bits and NACK bits for a first subset of the carriers, and transmits the first ACK/NACK group during a first transmission slot allocated for the first ACK/NACK group. If no carriers of a second subset of the carriers are activated for the wireless transceiver, then the first ACK/NACK group is also transmitted during a second transmission slot that is otherwise allocated to ACK/NACK information for a second subset of the carriers. In another method, first and second ACK/NACK groups corresponding to first and second subsets of carriers are each formed from a codebook comprising a DTX codeword indicating that no data transmission for the mobile station was detected for the corresponding subset of carriers.

  • Patent number: 7924754
    Abstract: Acknowledgment signaling in a multiple carrier environment is enabled with a multiple carrier codebook having code words that jointly encode acknowledgment for at least two carriers. For an example embodiment, there is a method in a remote terminal for acknowledgment uplink signaling in a multiple-carrier mode. First, a code word is determined that jointly encodes acknowledgment signaling for at least two carriers from a multiple carrier codebook that is stored in the remote terminal. The multiple carrier codebook includes eight code words that are defined to have a single carrier codebook as a sub-codebook of the multiple carrier codebook, each code word of the eight code words having a length of ten. The multiple carrier codebook achieves a minimum Hamming distance of four among the eight code words. Second, an uplink signaling message that includes the determined code word is transmitted from the remote terminal to a wireless network node.

  • Publication number: 20100054374
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for providing a reliability information on information bits (bk) transmitted in a communications network, said bits constituting a transmitted vector (s) comprising elements selected by a transmitter from finite alphabet (S), wherein said transmitted vector is detected from an observed vector received symbols (y) providing a log-likelihood (L). Thus, the approximation is done by defining a number of bit terms having constant size and selecting a subset of bits and marginalizing over a selected part of said subset of bits.

  • Publication number: 20100020854
    Abstract: According to the teachings presented herein, a method and apparatus for communication signal processing advantageously use a mix of parametric and non-parametric correlation estimation in communication signal processing. Non-parametric estimation generates an “overall” correlation estimate for a received communication signal, and parametric estimation generates a “component” correlation estimate. The component correlation estimate is removed from the overall correlation estimate to form a partial correlation estimate that is used to process the received communication signal at least initially, such as in a pre-equalization stage. The overall and component correlation estimates are generated as impairment and/or data correlation estimates.

  • Publication number: 20050125483
    Abstract: A method and a system of providing information transfer between at least one data unit and a central server. A data unit in an area within which at least partly two different communication means have an overlapping coverage, transfer information with the central server by means of one of these communication means. Selection of one of the communication means is done from a plurality of parameters governed by a data unit profile. The central server in turn will in most applications be interconnected to one or more users and their applications by means of a further communication network, such as the internet. A user will thus communicate with the central server by means of a single communication network and method even though several different communication networks and methods are used for information transfer to and from the data unit or units.

  • Patent number: 6561170
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of reducing emissions in the exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine that has at least one cylinder to which an air/fuel mixture is supplied when a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine is rotated, at least one inlet valve, at least one inlet duct connecting to the inlet valve, at least one exhaust valve, at least one exhaust duct connecting to the exhaust valve, control members for controlling the opening and closing of the inlet and exhaust valves, and a piston reciprocating between a top dead-center position and a bottom dead-center position in the cylinder. The method comprises the steps of supplying a lean air/fuel mixture to the cylinder, controlling the internal combustion engine so that it works at high load, and controlling the exhaust valve so that it opens when the piston is located in the bottom dead-center position. The exhaust valve is preferably controlled so that it closes after the induction stroke has started.

  • Patent number: 6529708
    Abstract: The propagation time for propagation of a radio signal from a radio transmitting station to a radio receiving station is estimated based on calculated correlation values, calculated energy values and a known energy value. The receiving station receives a series of received signals that respectively correspond to radio signaling bursts transmitted by the radio transmitting station. Each of the radio signaling bursts includes a known signaling sequence. The calculated correlation values are indicative of correlations between the received signals and the known sequence, the calculated energy values are calculated for the respective received signals, and the known energy value is the energy of the known sequence.
