Abstract
In High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) communications in a Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) system (called TD-HSDPA), the payload of two High-Speed Shared Information Channels (HS-SICHs) may be bundled into one HS-SICH channel by reusing the unused uplink synchronization shift (SS) for power control purposes. Thus, the HS-SICH spreading factor (SF) 16 code channel overhead may be reduced by 50%.
Claims20
A method of multicarrier wireless communication, comprising:
- combining channel quality reports for a first carrier and a second carrier into a single reporting payload;
- and
- transmitting the single reporting payload to a base station.
An apparatus for multicarrier wireless communication, comprising:
- means for combining channel quality reports for a first carrier and a second carrier into a single reporting payload;
- and
- means for transmitting the single reporting payload to a base station.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium having non-transitory program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:
- program code to combine channel quality reports for a first carrier and a second carrier into a single reporting payload;
- and
- program code to transmit the single reporting payload to a base station.
An apparatus configured for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to said at least one processor,
- wherein said at least one processor is configured:
- to combine channel quality reports for a first carrier and a second carrier into a single reporting payload;
- and
- to transmit the single reporting payload to a base station.
