Outer-loop power control for wireless communication systems
First Claim
1. A method for evaluating packets and frames in a wireless communication system having a burst oriented channel, and a corresponding rate indicator channel, the method comprising:
- monitoring the rate indicator channel;
determining the presence of a packet on the rate indicator channel based on a likelihood generated by a maximum likelihood decoder that decodes the rate indicator channel; and
analyzing the packet, if detected, to determine whether a frame is valid based on a comparison between a sub-packet identifier (ID) and payload size of the packet with a sub-packet ID and payload size of one or more previous packets.

Abstract
Systems and methods for evaluating packets and frames in a wireless communication system having multiple reverse-link channels including a spontaneous, burst oriented transmission channel and its corresponding rate indicator channel. One embodiment comprises a base station monitoring the rate indicator channel, decoding the rate indicator channel using a maximum likelihood decoder and detecting the presence of a packet on the rate indicator channel by comparing a likelihood with a threshold, and analyzing the validity of a frame on the burst oriented channel based on the presence and content of packets received on the rate indicator channel.
