DATA-RATE DETECTION IN CDMA SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention provides data-rate detection in a cellular radio communication system. The receiver receives data and TFCI associated with each of the multiple transport channels. The receiver then obtains the maximum number of valid transport format combinations and the maximum number of TFCIs that can be formed. The receiver then computes a subset of TFCIs using the obtained maximum number of valid transport format combinations and the maximum number of TFCIs, and decodes from the computed subset of TFCIs to reduce computation and improve data-rate detection reliability.
