    摘要: Methods and apparatus for use in a wireless system are described where initiation of packet transmission is constrained in accordance to control actual packet transmission in a manner that reduces contention and possible collisions beyond that provided by lower layer resource contention mechanisms, e.g., 802.11 carrier sensing and/or transmission back-off timing mechanisms. Through higher level, e.g., MAC constraints, on packet transmission initiation, an air interface which employs carrier sensing can be used and controlled in a manner which reduces collisions and interference in applications where small packets, e.g., packets which can be transmitted in a fraction of the maximum permitted transmission time. The methods allow small packets in such systems to be transmitted on a periodic or semi-periodic basis in many cases.

    摘要: A wireless communications device operates in a system where communications resources may be used by multiple devices concurrently. A device, with an acquired set of recurring time intervals, selects, e.g., pseudo-randomly, an interval or intervals to be used as a combined data transmission and channel measurement time interval. The other time intervals in its set are to be used as data transmission time intervals. The combined use type interval facilitates the measurement of interference on the device's channel while still allowing the device to transmit some data during the interval. A combined use interval includes a first portion for data transmission and a second portion for channel measurement. In some embodiments, the first portion is fixed size and the second portion occurs at the very end of the interval. In some embodiments, the duration of the first portion is varied over time such that the channel measurement start time varies.

    摘要: A method of operating a wireless device is provided in which an interference level on a resource is determined. In addition, a signal is transmitted on the resource with a first power when the interference level is low. The first power is such that the signal is received with a first SNR. Furthermore, the signal is transmitted on the resource with a second power when the interference level is high. The second power is such that the signal is received with a second SNR less than the first SNR.

    摘要: A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus transmits a first peer discovery signal with a first periodicity/temporal frequency in a first set of peer discovery resources. The apparatus determines an energy on an allocated peer discovery resource of a second set of peer discovery resources. The apparatus refrains from transmitting a second peer discovery signal in the second set of peer discovery resources when the energy is greater than a threshold. The apparatus transmits the second peer discovery signal in the second set of peer discovery resources with a second periodicity/temporal frequency less than the first periodicity/temporal frequency when the energy is less than the threshold. The apparatus may utilize the first set of peer discovery resources every period and the second set of peer discovery resources once every N periods in which once every N periods is the second periodicity.

In some embodiments, safety message monitoring and transmission operations are disabled when the mobile device is determined to be inside a building or inside a vehicle. In some embodiments, safety message monitoring rate and safety message transmission rate is varied as a function of proximity to vehicular traffic and/or the level of detected vehicular traffic. In some embodiments, safety message transmission power level is varied as a function of proximity to vehicular traffic and/or the level of detected vehicular traffic.
