摘要： In one embodiment, a sensing device (200) can include a transceiver (202) to monitor a communication signal, and a controller (203) communicatively coupled to the transceiver to receive from a Cluster Head (140) a schedule comprising a listening period and an active sensing period. During the listening period, the sensing device can monitor an occupied communication channel of the communication signal. During the active sensing period the sensing device can transmit in the occupied communication channel a test signal. The sensing device can increase a duty cycle of the test signal during repeated transmission, and calculate a correlation between a duration of the occupancy caused by an incumbent transmitting a communication signal in the communication channel and a duration of the test signal. A negative correlation can indicate the presence of an incumbent Carrier Sensing Multiple Access (CSMA) node transmitting a communication signal in the network.

摘要： A method and corresponding apparatus for re-establishing a communication in a wireless communication system is disclosed. A serving base-station (32) detects that a synchronization with a mobile station (38) has been lost and chooses a target base-station (34) to attempt to establish synchronization with the mobile station (38). If synchronization is established, the communication with the mobile station (38) is re-established by the target base-station (34). The method and corresponding apparatus does not require any handoff-related signaling to the mobile station (38) to essentially effect a communication handoff from the serving base-station (32) to the target base-station (34).

摘要： A base site (100) employs a method and apparatus for selecting two of a plurality of antennas (101-106) from which to receive a communication signal. A first signal quality metric is measured for a communication signal received from a first antenna (102) and a second signal quality metric is measured for the communication signal received from a second antenna (103). When the first signal quality metric differs from the second signal quality metric by a threshold, a signal receiver (113) is coupled to a third antenna (e.g., 101) and a third signal quality metric is measured for the communication signal received from the third antenna (101). Based on the three signal quality metrics, a primary antenna and a secondary antenna are selected from which to receive the communication signal.

摘要： The method consists of analyzing a handoff request received from a source base station at a source base site controller (BSC). If the handoff request contains a preferred base site list (is from a MAHO environment) the request is forwarded to the mobile switching center. If the handoff request does not contain the preferred list, the BSC generates a candidate list and transmits measurement messages to each candidate base site. The candidate base sites take measurements and reply to the BSC. The BSC uses the replies to generate a preferred base site list which is forwarded to the MSC. When the MSC receives a preferred base site list, it selects a handoff base site and executes the handoff.

摘要： A system and method of evaluating the radio coverage of a geographic area serviced by a digital cellular radiotelephone communication system is described which comprises a plurality of base stations each having a transmitter and a receiver and a plurality of mobile units having co-located transmitters and receivers for transmitting and receiving communication message signals between the base stations and a mobile unit. During operation, the position of at least one of the mobile units operating within the geographic area is located when a call is received by a base station. The base station monitors the signal quality of the call and collects information relevant to the actual performance of the communication system. The mobile unit location and corresponding signal quality data are passed from the base station to a central operation and maintenance unit which collects the data, performs all necessary analytic and arithmetic computations, and provides a user-friendly representation of the characteristics of the radio coverage. With this representation of the radio coverage characteristics, the system operator can quickly and efficiently diagnose coverage deficiencies and take the necessary corrective action. By continuously monitoring subscriber calls and updating the pictographic representations, the system operator can actually observe the effect of the adopted modifications in a pseudo real-time fashion.

摘要： A base station allocates resources for peer-to-peer communications by creating or updating peer sets from measured performance information received from one or more stations. Based on current resource assignments in each timeslot and based on the peer sets, the base station determines excluded timeslots and preferred timeslots. The base station then marks potential resources in a portion of a resource allocation map. One of the potential resources is allocated for peer-to-peer communication between a transmitter station and one or more receiver stations.

摘要： A subscriber station (SS) utilizes uplink resources that have been assigned to it for communicating with an infrastructure station to exchange data with a neighboring SS while maintaining its link to the infrastructure station. This is accomplished by the SS receiving an uplink allocation from the infrastructure station, transmitting a subscriber-to-infrastructure station header and trailer to the infrastructure station using the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) assigned by the infrastructure station and also transmitting a subscriber-to-subscriber (S2S) message payload, optionally using a second MCS level appropriate for the link between itself and the receiving SS. The subscriber to infrastructure station message is composed so that it occupies the first m codewords and contains a header that describes the length of the subscriber to infrastructure station message. The subscriber to infrastructure station message, then, is followed by the S2S message, composed to occupy the remaining symbols of the allocation.

摘要： A method and apparatus for distributing live video to multiple client devices is provided herein. In particular, a router is provided that acts on behalf of all client devices in its network. The router serves multiple groups of client devices with each group being formed by client devices having similar bandwidth requirements. The router then requests and receives video chunks from a network. The router then redistributes the video chunks to the multiple client devices using a multicast transmission. In particular, to minimize the demands on the core network, the router sets up a separate multicast to each group. Live video, of the appropriate quality is then multicast to each group.

摘要： A method and apparatus for quieting multiple channels is provided herein. During operation, transmission activity on each channel is analyzed and a best band is identified. Once the band is chosen, a wideband transmitter is utilized to transmit simultaneous reservation messages on consecutive channels simultaneously. Because a wideband transmitter is used to transmit simultaneous reservation messages on multiple consecutive channels, the above procedure quickly quiets multiple channels while minimizing the reservation duration of all channels as a result of quieting the channels.
