Abstract: The invention involves selection of modulation scheme for a mobile unit (100) having access to a link quality enhancing algorithm (130) operable only on data modulated using a subset of the available modulation schemes. The mobile unit (100) performs signal quality measurements on a communications link (410), over which data modulated with a first modulation scheme is communicated. A link quality measure is then determined for this first modulation. A quality enhancement due to operation of the algorithm (130) is also determined. This quality measure and the quality enhancement are used for generating decision information, which is reported to the network (200). There the information is used for estimating link quality measure(s) of currently non-employed modulation(s) for the mobile unit (100). The selection of a modulation scheme for the communications link is then performed based on the decision information and the estimated quality measure(s).

Abstract: Systems and methods for preemption of Traffic Engineering LSPs such that preemption decisions are made in a coordinated fashion along the path of a new LSP and computation of a new path for a preempted LSP can take advantage of knowledge of newly unavailable links. The efficiency of the preemption mechanism is greatly increased and the undesirable effects of heterogeneous preemption decisions are limited. The amount of signaling may also be significantly reduced. In one implementation, these advantages are achieved by exploiting an upstream preemption feedback mechanism that uses an incremental timer to delay preemption decisions until feedback is available.

Abstract: A method and apparatus use unified equations to provide computationally efficient but exact solutions to bit soft value computations for Gray-coded QAM symbols in a received communication symbol as compared to carrying out region-specific equations that are keyed to particular regions of a nominal modulation constellation. Such unified equations further may include one or more correction terms that compensate the bit soft value computations for the effects on symbol samples of more than one "nearest" neighbor in the nominal modulation constellation. While the computations offer particular advantages for receivers making use of the HS-DSCHs used in WCDMA, the method and apparatus can be used in essentially any wireless receiver or system employing Gray-coded QAM.
