摘要:
A reference signal management (RSM) program executing on a mobile device detects multiple reference signals, allocates those reference signals into groups, and performs reference signal management functions using information conveyed in the reference signals. The RSM program detects both broadband and narrowband reference signals and maintains updated groups of reference signals that are transmitted from access points with independent configurations or different radio technologies. Battery power of the mobile device is efficiently used to manage reference signals in heterogeneous network environments by preventing unnecessary handoffs, overhead downloads, access probes and new registrations. Reference signals are managed from both synchronous and asynchronous sectors and in idle mode as well as in connected state mode. The RSM program performs functions such as managing handoffs between access points, managing an idle mode of the mobile device, managing an active group of the detected reference signals, and collecting overhead parameters for the mobile device.

A method and apparatus for transmitting and processing a QuickChannelInfo block is described. It is determined if a superframe is with odd superframe index. A QuickChannelInfo block is transmitted in every superframe with an odd superframe index. The contents of the QuickChannelInfo block are changed in accordance with the QuickChannelInfo Validity field of the QuickChannelInfo block. It is determined if multi-carrier mode is MultiCarrierOn. The QuickChannelInfo block is transmitted on each carrier. The QuickChannelInfo block is transmitted over the communication. The QuickChannelInfo block is processed after the QuickChannelInfo block is received over a communication link.

A method and apparatus for determining TuneAway time in a wireless communication system is described. A current TuneAway attribute is and a TuneAwayRequest message having a MessageSequence matching the last received TuneAwayResponse is used. A tuneaway period number n for a sector with given sectorOffset is began at TuneAwayTimeNn, wherein the TuneAwayTimeNn is a function of t0, StartOffsetN, SectorOffset, n and TuneAwayPeriodicityN. The tuneaway period number n for a sector with given sectorOffset is ended at TuneBackTimeNn, wherein the TuneBackTimeNn is a functions of TuneAwayTimeNn and TuneAwayDurationNn and if a TuneAwayTimeNn lies on a frame boundary of frames j and j+1 is determined.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing on entering a Connected State by an access terminal and an access network is provided comprising issuing a ConnectedState.Activate command and an ActiveSetManagement.Open command, determining whether protocol receives an indication and determining whether protocol receives a Redirect message.
摘要:
An apparatus and method of transmitting a Redirect message in a wireless communication system is described. A Redirect message is generated comprising an 8 bit MessageID field, a 16 bit StayAwayDuration field wherein the StayAwayDuration field indicates the units of second for which an access terminal will not make an access attempt at the sector sending this message, an 8 bit NumChannel field wherein the NumChannel indicates the number of channel records included in the message, an 8 bit RedirectReason field wherein the RedirectReason reflect the redirect reason and a Channel field wherein the Channel field indicates the channel that the access terminal should reacquire. The Redirect message is transmitted over a communication link.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing Open state is provided, the method comprising receiving a Control Channel and a Forward Traffic Channel, requesting a MultipleInputMultipleOutput(MIMO) mode on the Forward Traffic Channel by sending a MIMORequest message, monitoring overhead messages and determining if the access terminal receives a ConnectionClose messages.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate grouping pilot identifies to indicate type and/or classification information regarding one or more access points. The access points can select or be assigned pilot identifiers from the group indicating a type or classification related to the access points. Thus, identifiers can be grouped into macrocell and/or femtocell groups or ranges such that an access point can indicate, and mobile devices can efficiently determine, whether the access point provides macrocell or femtocell coverage based on a range from which its pilot identifier is selected or assigned. In addition, the pilot identifiers can be utilized to indicate restricted association information regarding the access points.
摘要:
Confusion resulting from assigning the same node identifier to multiple nodes is resolved through the use of confusion detection techniques and the use of unique identifiers for the nodes. In some aspects an access point and/or an access terminal may perform operations relating to detecting confusion and/or providing a unique identifier to resolve confusion.
