Patent number: 7885318Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2007Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Mikko Saily, Olli Piirainen, Kari Niemela, Jari Hulkkonen

Patent number: 7808964Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2007Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Olli Piirainen, Kari Niemela, Jari Hulkkonen, Mikko Saily
