Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communication systems, and more particularly, to estimation of an uplink channel capacity. In an aspect, provided is a method of wireless communication, which may include determining whether a current transmit time interval (TTI) is relevant for computing the uplink channel capacity estimate, determining the transmission type of the current TTI where the current TTI is relevant, determining whether data is transmitted during the current TTI, computing a data capacity value based on at least one upload channel parameter, summing the data capacity values of TTIs from a window length start TTI to the current TTI to generate a data capacity sum, computing the uplink channel capacity estimate as a ratio of the data capacity sum to a total time period of all relevant TTIs during a window length interval, and accordingly adjusting a transmission rate of output traffic.
Abstract:
In a wireless communication system in which a user using a mobile equipment requests a serving cell handoff from a source cell to a target cell, the mobile equipment monitors authorization for the handoff from the target cell. At the same time, the mobile equipment can decode data from either the source cell or the target cell. Upon receipt of authorization for the handoff, the mobile equipment sends confirmation of the handoff to the target cell.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that effectuate and/or facilitate MAC-hs/ehs resets in an enhanced serving cell. In accordance with various aspects set forth herein, systems and/or methods are provided that identify transmission power control bits included in active set update messages received from source or target base stations, ascertain whether or not transmission power control values included in the active set update messages differ from transmission power control values that the system currently operates under, and performs serving cell changes and where necessary media access control status resets based on an examination of a transmission power control combination index.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products are defined that provide for in-order deliver of data packets during hand-off. The aspects provide for in-order delivery at Forward Link Serving eBS/Data Attachment Point (FLSE/DAP) switch and Reverse Link Serving eBS/Data Attachment Point (RLSE/DAP) switch. As such, present aspects provide for significant improvement in the throughput of applications, such as applications relying on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), during handoff, in such networks as Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) and the like.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents apparatuses and methods of accessing a communication network including obtaining extended access barring (EAB) data at a user equipment (UE), wherein the EAB data comprises an EAB uniform delay parameter, computing a uniform distribution parameter, determining an access bar period, wherein the access bar period is based on at least the EAB uniform delay parameter and the uniform distribution parameter, and initiating an access procedure to access the communication network after waiting at least the access bar period. Additionally, apparatuses and methods associated with a network apparatus controlling access to the communication network are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate and/or effectuate transmission of circuit switched voice over packet switched networks. The systems and methodologies provide for the receiving a first packet originating from access terminals and/or user equipment, determining within which hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) the first packet is received, ascertaining an amount of delay that is applied to the first packet before the first packet is forwarded into a core circuit switched network; and establishing a periodic time interval within which to convey subsequent packets that originate from the communicating access terminal and/or user equipment.
Abstract:
Wireless user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system may operate in a state, for example, the CELL_FACH state in UMTS, that does not allow for soft handoff from one cell to another. This inability to engage in soft handover may lead to intercell interference at a non-serving cell when the UE transmits on its uplink in close proximity to the non-serving cell. Therefore, provided in the present disclosure is method of wireless communication, which includes receiving a neighbor cell identification set indicating one or more neighbor cells, receiving a relative grant channel resource index corresponding to a relative grant channel shared by at least one of the one or more neighbor cells, detecting intercell interference associated with a user equipment (UE) in the one or more neighbor cells, and transmitting a non-serving relative grant message to the UE on the relative grant channel.
Abstract:
A base station (e.g., a Node B in a Multi-Point HSDPA network) calculates an amount of data to request from a network node (e.g., a radio network controller or RNC). As a part of the algorithm utilized, a length of a queue at the Node B for buffering the flow may be dynamically adjusted in an effort to optimize the trade-off between buffer underrun and skew. Further, a network node (e.g., the RNC) responds to Node B flow control requests. Here, the RNC may determine the amount of data to send to the Node B in response to the flow control message from the Node B, and may send the data to the Node B. In various aspects of the present disclosure involving a Multi-Point HSDPA system, the flow control algorithm at the RNC coordinates packet flow to the primary serving cell and the secondary serving cell for the UE.
