摘要:
A wireless communication network includes base stations that operate with variable transmit power adjustments during soft handoff of a mobile station. Base stations adjust current transmit powers up or down using variable step sizes responsive to power control commands from the mobile station. Step size depends on the difference between current transmit power and a common reference power. Generally, power control commands that move transmit power away from the common reference power are attenuated by decreasing the step size, and those that move the transmit power toward the reference power are amplified by increasing step size. A base station controller adjusts the common reference power during soft handoff to reduce differences between it and the current transmit powers. Thus, step size may be large at the outset of soft handoff to quickly reduce transmit power imbalance between base stations, but tends to decrease with subsequent adjustments of the common reference power.

Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate avoiding one or more wireless communication systems based at least in part on determining a level of unreliability of a reverse link channel related to a system. This can be based at least in part on determining whether the system can be accessed over the reverse link channel. If not, the wireless communication system can be avoided to conserve power utilized to perform such access attempts. Where the unreliability is temporary, however, some access attempts can be performed for systems of higher priority than a current system during the period of avoidance of one or more higher priority systems.

The disclosure relates to techniques for maintaining minimum quality of service (QoS) communication sessions with a wireless communication device (WCD) over a data-based communication network during a hard handoff between access networks for the WCD. More specifically, the techniques determine whether a closed connection between the WCD and a first access network during a minimum QoS communication session is due to a hard handoff between the first access network and a second access network. In the case of a hard handoff, the techniques maintain open QoS reservations associated with data flows included in the minimum QoS communication session for a predetermined period of time to enable a new connection to be established between the WCD and a second access network. The techniques described herein may especially useful when performing a voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call over an Evolution-Data Optimized (EVDO) communication network.

When a user equipment engaged in mobile communications transfers from a network with one radio access technology (RAT) to another network with a different radio access technology, maintaining continuity of location based services can improve system performance. A user equipment may perform a series of checks when undergoing inter-RAT transfer to determine if a location based services protocol used with the source network is operable on the target network. The UE also determines if location based services sessions are at a point where they can be continued following inter-RAT transfer. Where possible, protocols and sessions are maintained to preserve location based services continuity.

Techniques to detect for end of service using dynamic inactivity timer thresholds are described. An access terminal establishes a radio connection for one or more applications. Data and signaling for the application(s) may be sent on one or more first flows (e.g., RLP flows) that may carry any number of second flows (e.g., IP flows). The access terminal determines a dynamic inactivity timer threshold for each first flow, e.g., based on at least one inactivity timer threshold for at least one second flow mapped to that first flow. The access terminal determines whether each first flow is inactive based on the inactivity timer threshold for that first flow, e.g., declares each first flow to be inactive if no activity is detected on that first flow for a period exceeding the inactivity timer threshold. The access terminal closes the radio connection when all first flow(s) are determined to be inactive.

Systems and methods for allocating transmit power among multiple interfaces in a wireless communication system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises determining a first power level that is used for transmitting over a first air interface, determining a maximum power level available for transmitting over a second interface, comparing the first power level to the maximum power level, determining a second power level that is used for transmitting over the second air interface based on the comparison of the first power level to the maximum power level, and generating a power-based payload constraint based on the second power level.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate multimode communication in wireless networks. Receiving and/or transmitting components can comprise a plurality of receive paths over which antennas can forward concurrently received signals to facilitate simultaneous or shared receiving of signals related to disparate communication technologies. The receive paths can be implemented by one or more multiplexers (e.g., diplexers, triplexers, etc.) to facilitate separating signals simultaneously received over disparate bands. In addition, antenna switching is described to facilitate shared receiving. Multimode transmitting is similarly provided. In particular, voice, data and global positioning system (GPS) signals can be concurrently received and processed by a wireless device.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for reducing an occurrence of a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call from being disconnected in an Evolution Data Only (EV-DO) system are disclosed. The VoIP call is placed on hold and at least one keep-alive packet is issued to prevent a radio link from disconnecting. The at least one keep-alive packet is issued at least while the VoIP call associated with the radio link is on hold and is configured to reset a dormancy timer for the call at one or more network entities.
