摘要:
A wireless broadcast system that collects content for distribution over a wireless communication network. At least one content stream is received and encapsulated into a stream of transport packets that are ruggedized for broadcast over the wireless communication link. The stream of transport packets are simultaneously broadcast as part of an identical signal from a plurality of synchronized transmitters in a single frequency network. The content can include multimedia data, such as audio/video data, movies, game, audio broadcasts, television network programs, or other types of multimedia content.

A wireless communication network provides priority for one type of users over another type of users relative to one or more network finite resources shared by the different types of users. For example, if the available forward link transmit power at a radio base station is being shared by voice and data users, the radio base station may give priority to the voice users by reducing the aggregate amount of power allocated to current data users if the combined level of power usage by the voice and data users reaches a defined release threshold. The release threshold may be set at a call-blocking threshold, such that dynamic release is invoked if the call-blocking level is reached. Other limited resources can be managed similarly, such as by setting a release threshold relative to spreading code usage, etc.

In a high-rate packet data (HRPD) wireless communication network, an Access Terminal (AT) selects its serving cell, and additionally provides an advance indication of a pending cell selection. Upon receipt of the advance indication, the network directs data packets destined for the AT to the indicated target cell, which queues the data. The target cell obtains a prediction of an amount of data that the currently serving, or source, cell may transmit to the AT between the advance indication and the cell selection. Following the cell selection, the target cell transmits data packets to the AT beginning at an offset into the transmission queue that corresponds to the predicted data amount. When the target cell receives the actual transmitted data amount from the source cell, it may make adjustments in data packet transmission to the AT to ameliorate the effects of any miss-prediction.
摘要:
In a wireless communication network providing voice and data services, one or more entities in the network, such as a base station controller and/or radio base station, can be configured to reduce data services overhead responsive to detecting a congestion condition, thereby increasing the availability of one or more network resources for voice services. In one or more exemplary embodiments, one or more current data services users are targeted for modification of their ongoing data services to effect the reduction in data services overhead. Modifications can include, but are not limited to, any one or more of the following: forward or reverse link data rate reductions, and shifting of forward or reverse link traffic from dedicated user channels to shared user channels. Targeting of users for service modification can be based on reported channel quality information. For example, users reporting poor radio conditions can be targeted first for service modifications.

摘要:
A wireless communication network includes radio base stations of a first type that support dedicated channel packet data service and radio base stations of a second type that additionally support shared channel packet data service. A base station controller evaluates pilot signal strength reports to determine whether to serve a given mobile station on a shared packet data channel or on a dedicated packet data channel. Evaluation may comprise determining whether any pilot signals in the report correspond to radio base stations of the second type. If so, and if one or more service criteria are met, the controller serves the mobile station on a shared packet data channel, and otherwise serves it on a dedicated packet data channel. The controller may control or otherwise limit the mobile station's active set based on identifying pilot signals in the report that correspond to radio base stations of the second type.
