  • CDMA code division multiple access
  • TDD time division duplex
  • CDMA code division multiple access communications
  • the existing method to manage the transition between operating at a lower chip rate and a higher chip rate is for the operator to fully roll out a lower chip rate network before rolling out a higher chip rate network. If there are “islands” of higher chip rate coverage, the network will be able to hand over (to the high chip rate network cells) users with equipment capable of operation at both the lower and higher chip rate who enter the “island”: this provides some element of backward compatibility between the low and high chip rate networks. During such a transition period, the network operator will provide some subscribers with user equipment that is capable of operating at both the lower and the higher chip rates.
  • the operator will only be able to use its lower chip rate network equipment to service the majority of users: only those (probably new) users that have been supplied with user equipment capable of operating at the higher chip rate will be able to get service from the higher chip rate network equipment.

  • the network will recognise that the UE is a low chip rate UE and will only assign it resources in timeslots 0 - 8 in the future (for instance, if it assigns the UE a dedicated resource, it might assign it a single downlink channel in timeslot 5 once per frame and a single uplink channel in timeslot 8 once per frame—note that in a CDMA system, multiple channels may be supported per timeslot).
  • this UE would search for the special purpose (“7.68 beacon”) timeslot and would ignore the lower chip rate special purpose (“3.84 beacon”) timeslot.

  • the network will recognise that the UE is a high chip rate UE and will only assign it resources in timeslots 9 - 14 in the future (for instance, if it assigns the UE a dedicated resource, it might assign it a single downlink channel in timeslot 10 once per frame and a single uplink channel in timeslot 14 once per frame—note that in a CDMA system, multiple channels may be supported per timeslot).
  • the UE searches for the lower chip rate special purpose slot in preference to the higher chip rate special purpose slot. If the UE finds the lower chip rate special purpose slot, it will notify the cell of its existence and camp on the cell at the lower chip rate. The UE will inform the network of its capability to operate at the higher chip rate. The network may then decide to handover the UE to the higher chip rate network function. In this case, the UE camps on the higher chip rate in preference to the lower chip rate and the higher chip rate function in the network will allocate higher chip rate resource to the UE (from timeslots 9 - 14 in this example).
  • the UE displays some inflexibility between operating at the two chip rates: the UE is capable of changing only slowly from one chip rate to another, thus the network performs handover of dual mode equipment between the two chip rate networks and the different chip rate networks essentially operate independently.
  • the UE searches for the lower chip rate special purpose slot in preference to the higher chip rate special purpose slot. If the UE finds the lower chip rate special purpose slot, it will notify the cell of its existence and camp on the cell at the lower chip rate. The UE will inform the network of its capability to operate at the higher chip rate. The network may then allocate either lower chip rate (from timeslots 0 - 8 in this example) or higher chip rate resource (from timeslots 9 - 14 in this example) to the UE (a single allocation might even span the lower and higher chip rates such that a single allocation contains both lower chip rate and higher chip rate resource, e.g., timeslots 5 , 8 and 9 ).
  • the UE is capable of operating at both the lower and higher chip rates and can change between chip rates either every timeslot or every frame.
  • the lower chip rate and higher chip rate portions of the network are able to operate together (this arrangement may provide more capacity than when the higher and lower chip rate network functions operate independently due to trunking efficiency gains).
  • the UE In this second scenario, the UE must be aware of the chip rates that apply in the slots that it has been allocated.
  • the UE could autonomously detect the chip rate in the slot. This could be done by known methods such as spectral (frequency) analysis of the received data, analysis and comparison of the results of channel estimation, analysis of multi-user detector output, etc.—for example, in the case of channel estimation, channel estimates could be produced at 3.84 Mcps and 7.68 Mcps and then it could be assumed if the 3.84 Mcps channel estimate is better than the 7.68 Mcps channel estimate that the slot is actually 3.84 Mcps.
  • the UE could be told of the chip rate via higher layer signalling in an allocation message or could be told of the chip rate via broadcast higher layer signalling.
  • the UE could alternatively search for the higher chip rate special purpose slot in preference to the lower chip rate and the functionality in this case will be clear to those skilled in the art from the preceding description.
  • Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 described above in relation to FIG. 4 showed a slot structure with a single switching point between the lower chip rate system and the higher chip rate system (in the sense that the lower chip rate system occupied the low indexed timeslots and the high chip rate system occupied the high indexed timeslots), it will be appreciated that there may in fact be multiple switching points between low chip rate and high chip rate systems.
  • a slot structure (“Embodiment 3”) with multiple switching points is illustrated in FIG. 5 .
  • the timeslot structure of Embodiment 3 might be used for a variety of reasons.
  • the timeslot structure 500 of FIG. 5 might be used to allow for “synchronisation case 2”, which uses beacon slots per frame, one of the beacon slots being slot k, and the other being slot in k+8.
  • “synchronisation case 2” can facilitate inter-frequency and inter-system measurements (the UE can decode the beacon in the current frequency and then 8 slots later, it can look at the beacon on another frequency); it may also aid power control.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates aspects of the operation of the invention in the time domain. Aspects of the operation of the invention in the frequency domain are now considered. The following example embodiments relate to the example embodiments and main embodiment of the invention described previously.
  • the network operates within a spectral allocation of W high (for example, if the network supports operation at both 3.84 Mcps and 7.68 Mcps, then the spectral allocation for the network as a whole will be the bandwidth required to support a chip rate of 7.68 Mcps which is typically 10 MHz).
  • a timeslot frame structure 600 is employed and the network operates a single 3.84 Mcps network function in the lower chip rate timeslots (timeslots 0 - 8 ) and a single 7.68 Mcps network function in the higher chip rate timeslots (timeslots 9 - 14 ).
  • the spectrum of the 3.84 Mcps network function sits centrally in the spectrum allocation of the network as a whole (as illustrated by the waveforms depicted in the lower chip rate timeslots 0 - 8 in FIG. 6 ).
  • the carrier frequency of the 3.84 Mcps network function is the same as the carrier frequency of the 7.68 Mcps network function.
  • This arrangement may be advantageous when dual mode UEs can receive allocations at the two chip rates within the same frame.
  • the main benefit of this single low chip rate system in the low chip rate timeslots may be that Embodiments 1 and 2 fit more easily into this case.
  • synthesisers and other RF components
  • This Embodiment 4 may be used with Embodiments 1 and 2 described above.
  • a timeslot frame structure 700 is employed and the network operates two separate 3.84 Mcps network functions in the lower chip rate timeslots (timeslots 0 - 8 ) and a single 7.68 Mcps network function in the higher chip rate timeslots (timeslots 9 - 14 ).
  • two separate 3.84 Mcps network functions 710 and 720 ) coexist at the same time but are separated in frequency. As can be seen in FIG.
  • the waveforms depicted in the lower chip rate timeslots 0 - 8 in function 710 are centred on a higher frequency
  • the waveforms depicted in the lower chip rate timeslots 0 - 8 in function 720 are centred on a lower frequency offset from the higher frequency in function 710 .
  • the network has approximately twice the capacity at the lower chip rate than in the scenario described above (Embodiment 3).
  • the network can transfer users by handover operations between low chip rate carriers or between a low chip rate carrier and the high chip rate carrier and vice versa (according to the capabilities of the UE).
  • Embodiment 5 can be used with Embodiments 1 and 2 described above, though in the case of Embodiment 2 the UE will need to be informed of carrier frequencies and offsets of the one chip rate system relative to the other chip rate system (for example, if the UE is allocated timeslots 5 , 8 and 9 , the network will need to inform the UE of the carrier frequency of the higher chip rate system relative to the carrier frequency of the lower chip rate system).
  • the time slot allocations may be signalled to the UE via broadcast signalling (e.g., in system information blocks), via point to point signalling (e.g., defining the timeslot parameters for a single or a multiplicity of allocations).
  • the point to point signalling may be carried in radio resource control (RRC) messages, medium access control (MAC) messages (e.g., applied to High Speed Downlink Packet Access—HSDPA) or physical layer messages (similar to TFCI signalling).

  • each chip rate system may act independently of the other chip rate system (to the extent that any one chip rate would still function if the other chip rates were switched off in the frame: each chip rate is essentially controlled independently of the other chip rates), or one of the chip rates may operate collaboratively with another chip rate (the chip rates are controlled by a common controlling entity).
  • the number of lower chip rate functions may be proportional the ratio of the bandwidth of the higher chip rate system to the bandwidth of the lower chip rate system.
