摘要:
Methods of handing off an access terminal in a meshed wireless system is disclosed. Data that is received by an access point in the meshed wireless system may be routed to an access terminal via a downstream serving access point. The access point may also be configured to communicate a connection state of the access terminal to a target access point if a handoff of the access terminal from the serving access point to the target access point is requested.

A first wireless node may synchronize its timeslots with the timeslots of a second wireless node that was previously transmitting and receiving data in an asynchronous manner with respect to the timeslots of the first wireless node. By synchronizing timeslots, the wireless nodes may avoid interference that may otherwise occur if the wireless nodes operate in an asynchronous manner. A wireless node shares its timing information with other wireless nodes by repeatedly transmitting timing reference signals in conjunction with a synchronization metric that defines the relative priority of the timing reference. In the event a wireless node does not receive a GPS-based timing reference, the wireless node may synchronize to a timing reference based on the parameters of the synchronization metric of that timing reference. In the event a wireless node does not receive any timing references, the wireless node may define and advertise it's a timing reference and associated synchronization metric. To avoid synchronization race conditions, the synchronization metrics may be defined such that wireless nodes that have different timing references will advertise different synchronization metrics.

Various techniques for routing data through a cluster are disclosed. The cluster includes a number of nodes that support communications by an access terminal. A node may be configured to use an identifier assigned to an access terminal to route data associated with the access terminal to another node in the cluster. The identifier is assigned by any node in the cluster.

Configuring a peer-to-peer (P2P) link in a multi-access wireless network includes receiving P2P configuration information from a base station at a UE supporting P2P communication. The first UE communicates directly with a second UE based on the P2P configuration information received from the base station. The first UE may send a configuration request message to the base station, and receive a responsive configuration message with the P2P configuration information from the base station, which messages may be Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages supporting P2P. In the alternative, the P2P configuration information may be provided in a system information block (SIB) broadcast by the base station. The P2P configuration information may indicate allocation of physical layer or Medium Access Control resources, or both allocated for P2P communication, and other information.

Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate initiating an intra-closed subscriber group (CSG) handover. Access points in the same or similar CSG can make determinations regarding one or more devices without requiring information from the devices. An access point in a closed access mode can assume a device to which it communicates is a member of the CSG, and can provide such information to a target access point of the same CSG operating in a hybrid access mode, and the hybrid access mode access point can determine to allow member level access to the device. Similarly, where the target access point operates in a closed access mode, a source access point in the same CSG can determine whether to initiate handover of the device to the target access point based at least in part on CSG membership information for the device.

Apparatuses and methodologies are described that facilitate packet aware scheduling are provided. In some embodiments, if all of the information of a packet cannot be scheduled in a single transmission period, additional resources may be assigned to transmission of the contents of the packet based upon latency requirements and/or transmission constraints of the packet.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for dynamic interference management is disclosed. A frequency channel is partitioned into a plurality of groups. Two or more groups are assigned weights reflecting degrees of disadvantage of a node. Each group is further partitioned into a plurality of tones. A node experiencing interference determines a group, selects a tone within the group, and transmits a wireless signal using the selected tone. A receiving node receives a plurality of tones including the selected tone, identifies active tones from the received tones, and determines a response based on the weights of the active tones.

The disclosure is directed to an access point in a wireless access network and methods for using an access point. The access point includes a transceiver function and a network function. The network function is configured to route packets between a packet-based network and the transceiver function. The transceiver function is configured to support a wireless connection with an access terminal, and provide protocol translation between the packets and physical frames transported over the wireless connection.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides systems, methods and devices for selectively adjusting a quality of service QoS of communication between a wireless access point and a UE based on both a value indicative of system resources and closed subscriber group (CSG) subscription data, such that a member has priority access to system resources over a non-member. The systems, methods and devices described herein allow an access point operating in a hybrid mode to discriminate between CSG members and non-members, without having to terminate communication links in order to provide CSG members with particular QoS levels. In some embodiments, non-members can maintain or establish new communication links with lower QoS levels in order to utilize unused and available capacity, thereby increasing the utilization of system resources available through femto nodes operating in a hybrid mode.
摘要:
All or a portion of a timeslot of a slotted communication system may be dynamically designated for transmitting or for receiving. For example, a timeslot originally designated for receiving information at a wireless node may be temporarily designated for transmitting information from the wireless node. Such a designation may be made to accommodate a temporary asymmetry in traffic flow between wireless nodes or may be made based on other criteria. In some aspects, a resource utilization messaging scheme may be employed to mitigate interference associated with the designation of timeslots for transmitting or receiving.
