<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for improving reliability of control information. <P>SOLUTION: A transmitter determines if improved reliability is applicable for at least one control symbol to be sent in a time slot. The transmitter sends the control symbol(s) without improved reliability if deemed not applicable and sends the control symbol(s) with improved reliability if deemed applicable. A receiver receives the control symbol(s) and identifies each received control symbol as a reliable control symbol or an unreliable control symbol based on received signal quality of the received control symbol and a threshold. The receiver adjusts a control loop based on the reliable control symbols. The receiver also combines the unreliable control symbols and selectively adjusts the control loop based on the combined symbols. The control loop may be for transmission power or timing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
