Abstract
Method and apparatus for determining a transmission configuration for a dedicated channel in a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, an optimum configuration is determined based on minimizing Peak-to-Average Ratio (PAR) of the channel. The configuration is defined as a transmission pair of transmission branch and spreading code. The transmission branch may be the In-Phase (I) branch or the Quadrature (Q) branch. PAR analysis may be performed off-line to determine the optimum configuration. In operation, if the spreading code of the optimum configuration is used by another channel, the next best optimum code is used.
Claims6
In a wireless communication system, a method comprising:
- determining a transmission configuration for a first channel as a function of Peak-to-Average Ratio (PAR) on the first channel, the transmission configuration including a spreading code and a modulation path;
- if the spreading code is used by another channel in the wireless communication system, determining the next best optimum transmission configuration, based on a resultant PAR value;
- and
- applying the next best optimum transmission configuration to the first channel.
A wireless communication apparatus, comprising:
- means for determining a transmission configuration for a first channel as a function of Peak-to-Average Ratio (PAR) on the first channel, the transmission configuration including a spreading code and a modulation path;
- means for determining the next best optimum transmission configuration, based on a resultant PAR value, if the spreading code is used by another channel in the wireless communication system;
- and
- means for applying the next best transmission configuration to the first channel.
A wireless apparatus, comprising:
- a first transmission pair selection unit for determining a transmission configuration for a first channel as a function of Peak-to-Avenge Ratio (PAR) on the first channel, the transmission configuration including a spreading code and a modulation path;
- a determination unit for determining whether the spreading code is in use on another channel;
- and
- a second transmission pair selection unit for determining the next best optimum transmission configuration, based on a resultant PAR value, if the spreading code is used by another channel in the wireless communication system.
