Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate enhanced resource scheduling for a wireless communication system. As described herein, packets associated with a common flow that arrive within a predetermined time period following a leading packet associated with the flow can be grouped into respective packet bursts. Subsequently, system bandwidth, transmit power, and/or other communication resources can be scheduled based on an analysis of the respective packet bursts. As provided herein, by analyzing respective packet bursts in lieu of individual packets, computational and resource overhead required for resource scheduling can be significantly reduced. In one example described herein, a resource schedule is determined by selecting one or more flows to be assigned bandwidth from among a plurality of flows based on an analysis of packet bursts respectively associated with the flows. Sufficient bandwidth can subsequently be scheduled for the selected flows for transmission of the respectively associated packet bursts.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate scheduling best effort flows in broadband or wideband wireless communication networks. The systems can include devices and/or component that effectuate associating utility functions to multiple disparate flows based on traffic conditions extant in the wireless system, ascertaining the average rate at which the flow has been serviced in the past, and utilizing the utility function associated with the flow or the average rate that the flow has been serviced in the past to optimally schedule the flow.
Abstract:
Channel estimates respectively associated with OFDM pilot symbols are used to estimate additional parameters such as change in channel phase over time, change in channel phase over frequency, and frequency selectivity.

Abstract:
The apparatus and methods described herein are used to provide a communication quality feedback of an end-to-end communication path between an application transmitter and an application receiver. One method includes transmitting data from the application transmitter to the application receiver via the end-to-end communication path, the end-to-end communication path having at least one wireless link with a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver, generating, at the wireless transmitter, a first communication quality feedback message, and transmitting the first communication quality feedback message from the wireless transmitter to the application transmitter in a standardized format.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus which reduce or completely eliminate non-shift based divisions as part of estimating transmitted symbols and/or generating slicing parameters corresponding to two symbol transmission streams in a wireless communication system are described. A linear least squares error estimation filtering module performs symbol estimations and/or slicing parameter generation while avoiding non-shift based division operations. The linear least squares estimation module generates intermediate parameters, and implements equations which facilitate symbol estimation utilizing shift based divisions while avoiding non-shift based divisions.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for avoiding overflow and underflow conditions through the determination of appropriate scaling factors in signal estimation processing in a receiver are described. The receiver estimates transmitted symbols from one or more transmitter device antennas, while avoiding underflow and overflow conditions. A pilot based noise estimate and an estimated expected received signal power, corresponding to a transmit antenna, are used to generate an SNR corresponding to the transmit antenna. The generated SNR is used to determine, e.g., select from a fixed size set of predetermined scale factor values, a scale factor to be used for estimation processing associated with the transmit antenna. In some embodiments, the generated scaling factors are used by a fixed point processing linear least squares error estimation module. Scaling factor determination is performed at a rate which is slower than the rate at which symbols are received from a transmit antenna.

The systems provided herein arbitrarily select prospective time horizons, generate optimal bandwidth allocation targets based on a plurality of flows observed by the system, and utilizes the optimal bandwidth targets to assign flows to users over the entirety of the prospective time horizon.
