摘要:
A method and system is disclosed for intelligent power control in a wireless communication system. In accordance with an example embodiment, a first device will operate in a dynamic-power state in which it responds to each power-increment command and power-decrement command received from a second device by incrementing or decrementing transmission power on an air interface. While operating in the dynamic-power state, the first device will recognize when a first threshold number of alternating power-increment and power-decrement commands have been received, and responsively will transition to operating in a steady-power state in which it no longer increments or decrements transmission power in response to power-control commands from the second device. While operating in the steady-power state, the first device will recognize when receives a particular sequence of power-control commands from the first device, and based at least on the recognition will transition to operating in the dynamic power state.

A wireless network is used for a communication session between a mobile station and an endpoint. The wireless network receives endpoint bits representing communications from the endpoint for the mobile station and uses a first sector to transmit a forward link signal that encodes the endpoint hits. The mobile station generates mobile station hits representing communications from the mobile station for the endpoint and transmits a reverse link signal encoding the mobile station bits. A controller detects an imbalance between an error level in the forward link signal received by the mobile station and an error level in the reverse link signal received by the first sector. In response, the wireless network uses a second sector to receive the reverse link signal without using the second sector to transmit the endpoint bits. The reverse link signals received by the first and second sectors may be combined for diversity gain.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for dynamically transferring between multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) transmit modes based on a usage level of a wireless access node. In a particular embodiment, a method provides transferring wireless communications to a wireless communication device via a plurality of ports in a wireless access node on a wireless communication network. The method further provides determining an access node usage level for the wireless access node. If the access node usage level satisfies a condition for access node usage, the method provides configuring the plurality of ports to use a MIMO 2 transmit-2 carrier mode for transmitting the wireless communications. If the access node usage level does not satisfy the condition for access node usage, the method provides configuring the plurality of ports to use a MIMO 4 transmit-1 carrier mode for transmitting the wireless communications.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for adjusting a control channel timer based on control communication traffic on a control channel. In a particular embodiment, a method provides exchanging data packets with a wireless network over a wireless traffic channel assigned to a wireless device. The method further provides monitoring control communications from the wireless network over a wireless control channel and adjusting a control channel timer that indicates a time period that the wireless device should continue to monitor the control communications based on a level of control communication traffic. The method further provides releasing the assigned traffic channel in response to the expiration of a dormancy timer. In response to the release of the traffic channel, the method provides starting the control channel timer. In response to the expiration of the control channel timer, the method provides stopping the monitoring of the control communication traffic.

In a communication system, a first base station wirelessly transmits a first base station access code. A second base station wirelessly transmits a second base station access code. A wireless communication device wirelessly receives the first base station access code and the second base station access code and processes the first base station access code and the second base station access code to generate a common access code. The wireless communication device wirelessly transmits the common access code. The first base station wirelessly receives the common access code and processes the common access code to initiate the registration of the wireless communication device with the first base station. The second base station wirelessly receives the common access code and processes the common access code to initiate the registration of the wireless communication device with the second base station.

Disclosed herein is a method and system to help manage transmission power for wireless communications. A radio access network (RAN) will artificially increase target frame error rate (FER) for certain mobile stations in a coverage area for just a portion of a defined call drop timer period, and the RAN will automatically revert to apply a baseline target FER for a duration sufficient to allow recovery of the mobile station's communications before expiration of the call drop timer period. By increasing the target FER for the mobile stations, noise on the air interface can be reduced. And by reverting the target FER to its baseline level for a sufficient duration, call drops resulting from the increased target FER can be avoided.

What is disclosed is a method of operating a wireless communication device. The method includes entering an active state in a first wireless communication mode that requires tuning to a first frequency spectrum, and in response, setting a timer for monitoring a second wireless communication mode. If the timer expires during the active state in the first wireless communication mode, then the method includes tuning away from the first frequency spectrum to a second frequency spectrum for the second wireless communication mode and monitoring information for the second wireless communication mode. If the wireless communication device transitions from the active state to an idle state in the first wireless communication mode before the timer expires, then the method includes tuning away from the first frequency spectrum to the second frequency spectrum for the second wireless communication mode and monitoring the information for the second wireless communication mode.
摘要:
During a first time interval, an access point transmits orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals using a first cyclic prefix length. The access point receives a plurality of signal reports, such as Channel Quality Indicators (CQIs), from user devices being served by the access point. Based on the signal reports, the access point determines a distribution of signal qualities experienced by the user devices. The access point selects a second cyclic prefix length based, at least in part, on the distribution of signal qualities. The access point transmits OFDM signals using the second cyclic prefix length during a second time interval.

Methods and systems for adjusting a transmit power of a forward link or reverse link signal make use of variable adjustment parameters. The wireless signal is received to obtain a received signal. An observed signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and an observed frame error rate (FER) for the received signal are determined. In an outer loop process, an adjustment increment is selected based on how much the observed FER differs from the target FER, and the target SNR is adjusted by the adjustment increment. In an inner loop process, a power adjustment command is selected based on a comparison between the observed SNR and a target SNR. The power adjustment command instructs the transmitter of the wireless signal to either increase or decrease the transmit power of the wireless signal. The power adjustment increment may also depend on the observed FER.
摘要:
Methods and computer-readable media are provided to enable the selection of a cell tower sector that is used by the mobile device to provide higher quality signals in a current frame. Signal quality data is retrieved for a previous quantity of frames, and indicates the signal quality of signals communicated from multiple sectors to a mobile device during soft handoff. A sector that has been communicating higher quality signals is then selected. Loading, signal-to-noise ratio, and a number of traffic channels may be used independently or in conjunction to determine which sector to select. For time slots of a current frame, an overall power control command is communicated to each sector that corresponds to a power control command assigned to the selected sector.
