APPARATUS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD FOR PROVIDING COMMUNICATION BANDWIDTH IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of wireless communication, said method comprising:
- collecting samples of first portions of a received signal, sampled at an initial sampling rate;
estimating a number of wireless device transmissions in the collected samples; and
selecting an updated sampling rate at which to sample additional portions of the received signal.

Abstract
An apparatus and an associated method selects rates at which received signals are sampled in a multi-user communication system. The signals are sampled at initial sampling rates during a first period. An estimate is made of the number of received signals, and selection is made of an updated sampling rate, based in part upon the estimate.

18. A method for facilitating communication by a wireless device, said method comprising:
-
receiving at the wireless device an indication of a network-originated power-related indication; adjusting a conditional transmit power level of the wireless device; selecting whether to transmit data during a subsequent interval; and transmitting, at the conditional transmit level, a pilot, a short code word, and at least one additional code word.

19. A method for operating upon a received signal, said method comprising:
-
sampling the received signal at a sub-Nyquist sampling rate; estimating a number of wireless-device transmissions forming the received signal; and increasing at least one of;
the sub-Nyquist sampling rate to an updated sampling rate and commanding a UE transmission adjustment to avoid an error-floor condition due to operating outside of the rate-region of the multiple access system. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
