Method and apparatus for mapping of absolute power grant values in wireless communications
A method and apparatus for adjusting power grants in wireless communications. Multiple power grant tables are stored and one or more tables are designated during communication.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a signal designating which table of a plurality of tables is to be used for a transmission, wherein the signal is received during a communication via signaling in a Radio Access Network (RAN) through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling;
wherein a first table of the plurality of tables is used for a transmission of a first modulation type, and a second table of the plurality of tables is used for transmission of a second modulation type, the first modulation type being different than the second modulation type;
determining a designated table out of the plurality of tables based on the signal; and
using the designated table for the transmission.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signal designating which table is used for the transmission is based on a modulation type.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the modulation type is a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) type.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the QAM type is binary phase-shift coding (BPSK) or 16-symbol QAM (16QAM).
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of tables comprises a plurality of indices and corresponding absolute grant values, and wherein the absolute grant values are characterized by a square of a ratio of enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) dedicated physical data channel (E-DPDCH) amplitude to E-DCH dedicated physical control channel (E-DPCCH) amplitude.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first table is used to for transmission of a first set of modulation types, and the second table is used to for transmission of a second set of modulation types.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first table cannot be used to for transmission of the second modulation type.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving the plurality of the tables from a network.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending an uplink signal based on the signal designating which table of the plurality of tables is to be used for the transmission.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein an index value of the designated table indicates a modulation order.
11. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive a signal designating which table of a plurality of tables is to be used for a transmission, wherein the signal is received during a communication via signaling in a Radio Access Network (RAN) through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling;
wherein a first table of the plurality of tables is used for a transmission of a first modulation type, and a second table of the plurality of tables is used for a transmission of a second modulation type, the first modulation type being different than the second modulation type;
determine a designated table out of the plurality of tables based on the signal; and
use the designated table for the transmission.
12. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the signal designating which table is to be used for the transmission is based on a modulation type.
13. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein the modulation type is a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) type.
14. The WTRU of claim 13 , wherein the QAM type is binary phase-shift coding (BPSK) or 16-symbol QAM (16QAM).
15. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of tables comprises a plurality of indices and corresponding absolute grant values, and wherein the absolute grant values are characterized by a square of a ratio of enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) dedicated physical data channel (E-DPDCH) amplitude to E-DCH dedicated physical control channel (E-DPCCH) amplitude.
16. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the first table is used for a transmission of a first set of modulation types, and the second table is used for a transmission of a second set of modulation types.
17. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the first table cannot be used for a transmission of the second modulation type.
18. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the plurality of the tables from a network.
19. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit an uplink signal based on the signal designating which table of the plurality of tables is to be used for the transmission.
20. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein an index value of the designated table indicates a modulation order.
