BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
I. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to wireless telecommunications. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel and improved method and apparatus for supporting signaling data transmission in an adjustable rate wireless communication system.

II. Description of the Related Art FIG. 1 is a highly simplified illustration of a cellular telephone system configured in accordance with the use of digital signal processing techniques.
To conduct a telephone call or other communication, a wireless interface is established between a subscriber unit 18 and one or more base stations 12 using digitally modulated radio frequency (RF) signals. Each wireless interface is comprised of a forward link transmission from the base station 12 to the subscriber unit 18 and a reverse link transmission from the subscriber unit 18 to the base station 12. Typically, one or more channels are established within the forward and reverse link transmission which include a forward traffic channel and a reverse traffic channel over which the user data such as voice or digital data is transmitted. Using one or more wireless interfaces, a subscriber unit 18 communicates with other systems by way of mobile telephone switching office (MTSO) 10, including public switched telephone network (PSTN) 19, and any other systems coupled thereto.
Typically, MTSO 10 is coupled to PSTN 19 and to base stations 12 via wire line links including, for example, T1 or E1 links, the use of which is well known in the art.
In addition to digitized voice and other digitized user data, cellular telephone systems must transmit signaling data via the wireless link.
Signaling data is used to control and exchange information between the various subsystems that make up the cellular telephone network. The transmission of signaling data via the wireless link is typically performed by establishing a second set of channels in the forward and reverse link ..... ~

In many instances, multiplexing the user data and signaling data 5 over a single traffic channel is ~refel,ed because processing a single channelat the receive system is less complex than processing a set of channels.
Various systems and methods for transmitting user data and signaling data via single traffic channel are disclosed in pending US patent applications serial number 08/171,146 entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE

Since the initial development of many digital cellular 20 telecommunications systems, the need for higher data rate wireless telecommunication systems has developed, as well as for wireless telecommunication systems that operate at a greater variety of data rates.
Additionally, some new wireless application require that a constant user data transmission rate be provided. In the context of these new applications, 25 temporarily reducing or suspending the transmission of user data to allow signaling data to be transmitted is not feasible. Therefore, to satisfy these new requirements the present invention is directed to providing wireless telecommunication capability at a wide variety of transmission rates without the need to reduce the user data transmission rate in order to send 30 signaling data. Additionally, to avoid increased complexity, the present invention is directed to providing this capability via the use of a single traffic channel.

CA 022~6719 1998-11-26 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is a novel and improved method and apparatus for providing a constant data rate channel supporting signaling data transmission in an adjustable rate wireless communication system. In accordance with one aspect of the invention the rate at which the channel operates may be adjusted based on the particular use and environmental conditions such that the appropriate data rate up to a maximum capacity can be achieved. In the exemplary embodiment, user data is placed into 20 ms frames based on the selected rate. When available, signaling data is added into each 20 ms frame in a predetermined amount. The resulting frame is encoded, repeated and punctured based on the selected rate and whether signaling data has been introduced, and transmitted via RF signals to the receive system. Upon reception, the frame is processed in accordance with having only user data and with having signaling data. That is, the frame is processed both as if no signaling data were present and as if it had signaling data. Once the frame is processed, the particular processing that is more likely to be correct is determined via error checking. If the signaling data processed frame is more likely to be correct, the signaling data is separated from the user data and each processed accordingly. If the non-signaling data processing is determined to be more likely to be correct, the frame is processed as if it were entirely comprised of user data.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
EMBODIMENTS

A method and apparatus for supporting signaling data transmission 10 in an adjustable rate wireless communication system is described. In the following description, the invention is set forth in the context of a radio frequency signal interface operating in accordance with use of code division multiple access (CDMA) physical signal modulation techniques. While the described invention is especially suited for use with such signal modulation 15 techniques, the use of other digital wireless telecommunications protocols isconsistent with the practice of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that the present invention is intended for use with various types of communication systems including satellite based communication systems, point to point wireless communications systems and wireline 20 systems including co-axil cable communication systems.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the traffic channel data encoding portion of a base station when configured in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention. User data is applied at any one of a variety of data rates DR to frame generator 30 along with signaling data if present.
25 Frame generator 30 places the user data into 20 ms frames in integer multiples of 32 bits and adds a frame control byte. In one embodiment, the frame control byte is comprised of multiplexer sublayer format bits, the signaling start of message bit, erasure indicator bit, and the packet header bits. If signaling data is queued for transmission, frame generator 30 places 30 an additional 32 bits of the signaling data in the frame. CRC generator 32 generates a 16 bit checksum value for each frame received from frame generator 30 and tail bit generator 34 adds 8 tail bits to each frame received from CRC generator 32. The tail bits are comprised of eight logic zeros in the exemplary embodiment of the invention and provides a known state at the 35 end of the decoding process. A diagram illustrating the contents of a frame in accordance with the exemplary embodiment after processing by tail bit formatter 34 is shown in FIG. 3. As illustrated, the control byte 70 is CA 022~6719 1998-11-26 W O 97/45976 PCT~US97/09288 positioned at the front of the frame, followed by an integer multiple n of 32 information bits 72, CRC check sum 74 and the encoder tail byte 76.
Referring again to ~IG. 2, convolution encoder 36 performs rate (R) 1/2, length (K) 9, convolutional encoding on each frame received from tail bit formatter 34, thereby generating two code symbols for each bit in the frame. For purposes of this application the rate at which data is received by convolutional encoder 36 is referred to as the encoder input rate (ER) and therefore the symbol rate from convolutional encoder 36 is 2ER. The encoder input rate ER is in turn dependent on the data input rate DR and whether signaling data is being transmitted Symbol repeater 38 repeats each symbol within a frame received N R times, where NR also depends on the encoder input rate ER~ thus making the number of code symbols per frame from symbol repeater 38 equal to 2ERNR. Puncture 40 receives the output of symbol repeater 38 and removes symbols from the frame in accordance with a ratio of symbols removed to total symbols (PR) that depends on the transmission rate. Interleaver 42 receives the output of puncture 40 and in the exemplary embodiment block interleaves each frame to create time independence between the symbols.
Power control puncture 44 further punctures the interleaved frame with power control data that is used to control the power at which the reverse link traffic channel from the subscriber unit 18 is transmitted. The power control data indicates to the subscribers whether its transmission power is adequate. The mobile station adjusts its gain in response to these messages. This type of closed loop power control is described in detail in U.S. Patent No. 5,056,109 entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR
CONTROLLING TRANSMISSION POWER IN A CDMA CELLULAR
MOBILE TELEPHONE SYSTEM", and incorporated by reference herein. In the preferred embodiment of the invention the power control data is comprised of a logic high or logic low bit written over two code symbols that indicates whether subscriber unit 18 should increase or decrease the power at which it transmits the reverse link signal, I/Q multiplexer 46 receives the output of power control puncture 44 and alternately outputs the received symbols to the dl and dQ outputs, thereby generating in-phase symbol stream dI and a quadrature-phase code symbol stream dQ. The dl and dQ are then applied to a modulation system for transmission to a subscriber unit 18.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a modulation system configured in accordance with the exemplary embodiment that modulates multiple sets of CA 022~6719 1998-11-26 W O 97/45976 PCTrUS97/09288 in-phase and quadrature-phase symbol streams dI1 63 and dQ1 63 including the set of dl and dQ code symbol streams generated as described above with respect to FIG. 2. Each set of code symbol streams dl and dQ is directed to a different subscriber unit 18. The multiple sets of in-phase dI1 63 and quadrature-phase symbol streams dI163 and dQ1 63 are each modulated with one of sixty four orthogonal Walsh codes Wi=1..63, with each Walsh code being comprised of sixty-four Walsh chips, thereby generating modulation symbols at a rate of 64 times the code symbol rate. ~he resulting Walsh modulation symbols are gain adjusted according to gain adjust factors A1 63 by gain adjusters 51. The set of in-phase modulation symbols are summed by in-phase summer 50 yielding summed in-phase modulation symbols DI~
and the set of quadrature-phase modulation symbols are summed by quadrature-phase summer 52 yielding summed quadrature-phase modulation symbols DQ. Additiona}ly, pilot data comprising of all logic 1's is gain adjusted according to gain adjust factor Ao by another gain adjuster 51, and summed into the in-phase modulation symbols Dl by summer 50.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that performing no Walsh code modulation on the pilot data is effectively modulating pilot data with the WO Walsh code which is comprised of all logic ones.
The summed modulation symbols Dl and DQ are modulated with an in-phase pseudorandom spreading code PNI and quadrature-phase pseudorandom spreading code PNQ using multipliers 53 as shown yielding products PNI-Dl, PNQ-DI, PNI-DQ, and PNQ-DQ. Modulation by a pseudorandom code is described in detail in the aforementioned U.S.
Patents Nos. 5,103,459 and 4,901,307. Summer 54 then sums the product PNI.Dl with the negative of the product PNQ-DQ, and summer 56 sums the product PNI-DQ with the product PNQ-DI. The output of summer 54 is bandpass filtered (not shown) and modulated with an in-phase sinusoidal carrier signal (cos(c~ct)), and the output of summer 56 is also bandpass filtered (not shown) and modulated with an quadrature-phase sinusoidal carrier (sin(~ct)), and the resulting modulated RF signals are summed, amplified (not shown), and transmitted. Those skilled in the art will recognize the above described modulation with the PNI and PNQ spreading codes using multipliers 53 and summers 54 and 56 is complex multiplication of the summed data Dl and DQ with the spreading codes PNI and PNQ.
While the use of a complex multiplication modulation scheme is preferred because it facilitates the transmission of different types of data via the in-T

CA 022~6719 1998-11-26 phase and quadrature-phase channels created by the PNI and PNQ spreading codes, other spread spectrum modulation schemes are consistent with the use of the present invention and will be apparent to one skilled in the art.

Various additional rates and totals are provided as well including the rate of information bits transmitted, the total number of code symbols .. , .. . ~ .

CA 022~6719 1998-11-26 W O 97/45976 PCT~US97/09288 generated per frame by symbol repeater 38, and the actual number of code symbols punctured from each frame.
From Table I it can be seen that the symbol repetition rate NR and puncture rate PR are maintained such that the total number of code symbols 5 per frame actually transmitted equals 768, which corresponds to a code symbol rate of 38,400 symbols per second. In particular, the repetition rate NR is set to the lowest integer which will generate 768 or more code symbols per frame, and the puncture rate is set such that the number of code symbols above 768 generated by that repetition are removed. It should be 10 understood, however, that the use of codes symbol totals other than 768 are consistent with the practice the present invention. When the 768 code symbols are divided into an in-phase portion and a quadrature-phase portion by I/Q multiplexer 46, the number of code symbols per frame in each portion becomes 384. This sets the code symbol rate for the I and Q channels to 19,200 symbols per second, which when modulated using a sixty four bit Walsh code for each symbol yields a modulation code or chip rate of 1.2288 Megachips per second that can be transmitted within traditional CDMA
channels. The spreading codes PNl and PNQ are then applied at the Walsh code chip rate. Thus, data may be transmitted at anyone of a variety of rates using the same channel and spreading codes applied at the same coding and spreading rate. Additionally, by increasing the transmission rate, signaling data may be transmitted in addition to any user data. This in turn, allows a single RF processing and signal modulation system to be used for transmitting both user and signaling data, which reduces the complexity and 25 cost of implementing such a system, and maintains a degree of compatibility with prior art systems having a reduced number of variable transmission rates and single transmission rates.
During an exemplary communication a user data transmission rate, UR (user data rate) is first selected from the set of input data rate DR rates 30 provided in Table I. The user data rate UR selection can be performed based on various parameters including the particular type of communication being conducted or the environmental conditions, or both. If the type of communication is considered, the user data rate UR can be fixed to a predetermined amount within the system, or established via exchange of 35 signaling messages, in alternative embodiments of the invention. If the environmental conditions are considered, the system will typically attempt to transmit at ever increasing rates until the error rate at the subscriber unit CA 022~6719 1998-11-26 W O 97/45976 PCT~US97/09288 reaches the highest acceptable level, and the resulting rate used as the user data rate UR. Periodically, attempts to increase the transmission rate may be made to determine if environmental conditions have changed such that higher transmission rates have become feasible. Other methods of 5 determining the best user data rate UR, will be apparent to one skilled in the art. Additionally, in one embodiment of the invention, base station 12 transmits a signaling messages to a subscriber unit 18 indicating when the transmission rate should be increased or decreased. In alternative embodiments of the invention these signaling messages are generated in 10 response to measured conditions including the number of calls being made, the amount of inLeLferellce detected, the error rate of the call, or a combination thereof.
Once a user data rate UR has been established, signaling data may be transmitted by temporarily increasing the transmission rate to a signaling 15 data rate SR and transmitting the signaling data using the additional capacity provided by this increase in transmission rate. During this temporary increase in the transmission rate, the processing of the frame is altered accordingly as described above including adjusting the symbol repetition rate NR and puncture rates PR In the exemplary embodiment of the invention, 20 the signaling data rate SR is the next highest transmission rate specified inTable I, and therefore allows 32 bits of signaling data to be transmitted in each frame. Frames including signaling data are transmitted at signaling data rate SR, until the entire signaling message is sent. In an exemplary transmission data is transmitted at user data rate UR of 24 kbits per second 25 during normal operation, and therefore the symbol repetition rate N R set to 1 and the bits punctured to total bit ratio PR set to 1 of 4. When signaling data is present, the rate is increased to a signaling data rate SR of 25.6 bits per second with the symbol repetition rate remaining at one, but the bits punctured to total bit ratio PR is increased to 5 of 17. Thus, user data may 30 continue to be transmitted at the user data rate UR while signaling data is also transmitted.
In an alternative exemplary embodiment of the invention, the user data rate UR selected represents only the maximum data rate of a set of data rates used to transmit a particular type of data. That is, once user data rate 35 UR and N R are selected, data may be transmitted in accordance with the selected user data rate UR, or at one or a set of lower rates. In the preferred implementation of this embodiment, each lower rate is approximately one CA 022~6719 1998-11-26 W O 97/45976 PCTrUS97/09288 half the next higher rate creating a set of rates comprised of, for example, a full rate, a half rate, a quarter rate, and an eighth rate. These lower data rates may be generated by performing code symbol duplication within either encoder 36 or interleaver 42. The gain adjust performed on this channel 5 during the transmission of the data at these lower rates is then reduced by the same ratio as the reduction in rate to reduce the amount of interference generated. The use of rate sets in this manner is useful for transmission of time sensitive data which is generated in highly variable amounts such as voice, audio or video information.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a portion of the receive processing system at subscriber unit 18 when configured in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. During RF processing, which is shown in highly simplified form, the RF signals received by antenna 81 are amplified and bandpassed filtered to the 1.2288 spectrum (not shown~, digitized (not 15 shown), and downconverted to baseband by mixing with in-phase carrier sinusoid (cos(cl~ct)) and quadrature-phase carrier sinusoid (sin(c~ct)) using multipliers 79, thereby generating in-phase receive samples RI and quadrature-phase receive samples RQ at a rate of 1.2288 Megachips per second. In-phase and quadrature-phase receive samples RI and RQ are 20 applied to finger processor 81 as well as to other finger processors which are not shown for ease of drawing. Finger processor 81 processes one instance of the forward link signal while the other finger processors process other instances, if available, with each instance generated via multipath phenomenon. The use of only one finger processor is consistent with the 25 invention however.
Within finger processor 81, timing adjust 83 adjusts the timing of the receive samples to allow synchronization and later combination with the other instances of the forward link signal, although the timing adjust may be performed at other points in the processing of the forward link signal in 30 alternative embodiments of the invention. A complex-conjugate multiplication is then performed between the time adjusted in-phase and ~uadrature-phase samples RI and RQ and the PNI and PNQ codes using multipliers 80a - d and adders 82a - b, yielding a first product XI = RI-PNl +
RQ.PNQ and a second product XQ = RI-PNQ - RQ-PNI. The first and second 35 products XI and XQ are then modulated and summed over a the sixty four Walsh code bits of a traffic channel Walsh code Wj, and pilot channel Walsh code W0 using multipliers 84a - d and summers 86a - d. The Wo modulation , . ~

CA 022~6719 1998-11-26 W O 97/45976 PCTrUS97/09288 yields leference symbols for coherent demodulation and scaling at a rate of 19.2 kilosymbols per second which are filtered using pilot filters 88 In the preferred embodiment of the invention pilot filters 88 calculate the average value over a series of Walsh symbols, although various other methods of 5 pilot filtering will be apparent to one skilled in the art. A second complex-conjugate multiplication is then performed between the results of the traffic channel Walsh code demodulation and the pilot reference estimations using multipliers 90a- d and adders 92a - b, which phase shifts the traffic channel data to zero radians yielding scaled soft decision data rl and rQ, since10 the pilot data transmitted consists of all logic zeros.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the decoder used by a subscriber unit 18 when configured in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
The soft decision data rI and rQ from the set of finger processor including finger processor 81 are summed by summers 98, and the summed soft 15 decision data samples is received by demultiplexer 100 which demultiplexes the data into a single stream. Deinterleaver 102 deinterleaves the data in 768 symbol blocks and UR depuncture 104 and SR depuncture 106 each receive a single instance of the deinterleaved data. UR depuncture 104 depunctures the deinterleaved data at the user data rate UR by inserting erasure or neutral 20 symbols in accordance with the puncturing as set forth in Table I. An erasure or neutral symbol is one that will not influence the result of any subsequent convolutional decoding performed on the data. In a bipodal signal having its logic level determined by whether it is at either a high voltage level or a low voltage level, the neutral value will be the midpoint 25 between the high voltage level and the low voltage level. In the preferred embodiment of the invention the neutral value will be zero, since the low voltage level and high voltage level are above and below zero volts by equal amounts. Similarly, depuncture 106 depunctures the deinterleaved data at the next higher rate as shown on Table I by inserting neutral symbols in 30 accordance with the puncture rate associated with the signaling data rate SR. UR summer 108 and SR summer 110 receive the depunctured data from UR depuncture 104 and SR depuncture 106 respectively, and sum the data of NR symbols. The value NR used by UR summer 108 is set according to the NR associated with the user data rate UR, as specified by Table I. The 35 value NR used by the SR summer 108 is set according to the NR associated with the rate one above the user data rate as specified by Table I. UR decoder 112 and SR decoder 114 perform Viterbi decoding of the data received from . , . -- ~ . . ..... .

CA 022~6719 1998-11-26 W O 97/45976 PCTrUS97/09288 UR and SR summers 108 and 110 respectively at the decoding rate associated with the user data rate UR and the next higher rate respectively, producing UR rate data 116 and SR rate data 118. Additionally, UR and SR decoders 112 and 114 each generate CRC check sum results. UR data 116, SR data 118, and 5 signaling data 119, along with the associated CRC check sum results are then provided to processing and control system 120 which selects the correct data rate based on whether the associated CRC check sum is correct. In one embodiment of the invention, if both CRC check sums indicate success, or neither indicated success, both rate one data 114 and rate two data 116 will be 10 rejected, and a retransmit required. The use of other error detection methods such a reencoded serial error rate or Yamamoto metrics are in addition to or instead of CRC checksums is also consistent with the practice of the present invention. In the embodiment of the invention incorporating the use of rate sets, UR and SR decoders 112 and 114 perform 15 multiple decoders at each of the possible rates in the rate set, and provide additional error detection information so that the correct rate of processing can be determined by processing and control system 120.
