Robust erasure detection and erasure-rate-based closed loop power control
First Claim
1. An apparatus which controls a transmit power for a physical channel in a wireless communications system, comprising:
- a first sub-system utilizing an inner loop operable to adjust the transmit power for the physical channel to maintain a received Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) substantially at a target SNR value;
a second sub-system utilizing an outer loop operable to adjust the target SNR value which achieves a target erasure rate; and
a third sub-system utilizing a third loop is operable to adjust an erasure threshold to achieve a target conditional error rate.

Abstract
Techniques for performing erasure detection and power control for a transmission without error detection coding are described. For erasure detection, a transmitter transmits codewords via a wireless channel. A receiver computes a metric for each received codeword, compares the computed metric against an erasure threshold, and declares the received codeword to be “erased” or “non-erased”. The receiver dynamically adjusts the erasure threshold based on received known codewords to achieve a target level of performance. For power control, an inner loop adjusts the transmit power to maintain a received signal quality (SNR) at a target SNR. An outer loop adjusts the target SNR based on the status of received codewords (erased or non-erased) to achieve a target erasure rate. A third loop adjusts the erasure threshold based on the status of received known codewords (“good”, “bad”, or erased) to achieve a target conditional error rate.
