摘要:
In a wireless communication system, a mobility factor is used to influence handoff. If a subscriber station has been in a low mobility state for some period of time, the system may handoff operation from a first service type to a second service type. If the mobility factor indicates that the subscriber station is moving, the system may handoff operation from the second service type back to the first service type.

Methods and apparatus for implementing a wireless communication transceiver having receive path performance diversity. The transceiver implements a plurality of signal paths that can be configured as space diversity receive paths. Each of the plurality of signal paths includes a distinct RF filter. Each RF filter can be configured to provide a distinct frequency response, and in particular, a distinct jammer rejection profile. One of the RF filters can be configured to provide substantially no in-band jammer rejection. Each additional distinct RF filter can be configured to reject at least one distinct in-band jammer frequency or band of frequencies. A diversity receiver coherently combines the path performance diverse signals from each filter output. A transmitter can time division duplex transmit communications over at least a subset of the signal paths and their associated RF filters.

Disclosed is a novel method and system for efficiently synchronizing, transmitting, and receiving data between a base station and a plurality of customer premises. A MAC coprocessor (MCP) (402) is implemented, which works in conjunction with the MAC (410) in order to produce a robust, high throughput communication system. The MAC coprocessor (402) performs many of the tasks typically performed by prior art MAC's, including: during a downlink, storing a data frame, sorting the data frame according to modulation type or other criteria, determining when the data frame is full, and appending a set of CPE settings to the data frame. During an uplink, the MAC coprocessor (402) receives all data and routes the data either to the MAC (410) or a network backhaul. A MAC coprocessor (402) may be used in both the base station and Customer Premises. In both the downlink and uplink processes, having a MAC coprocessor working in conjunction with the MAC may significantly increase the communication system's throughput.

On embodiment of the system and method provides asymmetric adaptive modulation which allows uplink and downlink subframes (304, 302, respectively) of data to be transmitted between a base station (102) and a CPE (104) with different modulation schemes, thus increasing the efficiency of downlink transmissions while maintaining the stability of uplink transmissions. In systems with multiple CPEs, each CPE (104) and base station (102) pair can independently select their uplink and downlink modulation techniques. The system and method are also adaptive in that they adjust the modulation schemes based on, for example, signal to noise ratio measurements or bit error rate measurements.

A wireless broadcast system includes receiving a data a stream by a convergence module. The convergence module partitions and encapsulates the transport packets into MAC protocol data units such that a size dimension of the encapsulated transport packets matches a size dimension of the MAC protocol data units. The MAC protocol data units are then provided to a transmitter that is synchronized to a plurality of transmitters in a single frequency network so that each transmitter in the network broadcast an identical signal that includes the MAC protocol data unit.
