A method and system for de-coupling forward and reverse link assignment for multi-carrier wireless communication systems. A method may assign two or more forward link code division multiple access (CDMA) carriers to transmit data from a base station to an access terminal; assign one or more reverse link CDMA carriers to transmit data from the access terminal to the base station; and limit reverse link overhead transmissions corresponding to the two or more forward link CDMA carriers.

Techniques for improving the capacity of a wireless communications system using interference cancellation (IC). In an early decoding and IC aspect, a frame transmitted from a user to a base station may be decoded prior to the entire frame being received by the base station. The remaining portion of the frame may then be re-constructed at the base station prior to its reception, and cancelled from the receive signal to reduce the interference to frames received from other users. In a power control aspect for early decoding and IC, the power control target level at a local base station may be adjusted in response to successfully early decoding a frame, without affecting the overall outer loop power control operation. Further aspects include late decoding techniques for utilizing the IC of other users' signals to improve the probability of decoding a given user's frames, as well as techniques for traffic channel demodulation using channel re-estimation.

A system to communicate a superposition coded packet from a base station to a plurality of remote stations. At the base station, from a list of user candidates for superposition coding a most deserving user may be determined. Those user candidates with a requested data rate less than that of the most deserving user may be eliminated. A superposition coded packet may be compiled from the remaining user candidates. On receipt, the most deserving user may process the superposition coded packet by assuming a predetermined power allocation. Further, if a user successfully in decodes early, power may be re-allocated to another user.

A method and an apparatus for rate control in a high data rate (HDR) communication system are disclosed. An exemplary HDR communication system defines a set of data rates, at which an access point (AP) may send data packets to an access terminal (AT). The data rate is selected to maintain targeted packet error rate (PER). The AT's open loop algorithm measures received signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) at regular intervals, and uses the information to predict an average SINR over the next packet duration. The AT's closed loop algorithm measures a packet error rate (PER) of the received signal, and uses the PER to calculate a closed loop correction factor. The loop correction factor is added to the SINR value predicted by the open loop, resulting in an adjusted SINR.

Reverse Link (RL) data rate allocation in a High Data Rate (such as 1xEV-DO) system as a function of Forward Link (FL) channel quality. Rate shaping of a throughput profile for multiple Access Terminals (ATs) is performed by adjusting transition probabilities associated with a data rate allocation algorithm. The transition probabilities are adjusted to encourage transitions in a desired direction. In one embodiment, the transition probabilities are adjusted as a function of the FL Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio Ratio (SINR), such as measured per serving sector or as a captured sum total of FL SINR. In another embodiment, the transition probabilities are adjusted as a function of the historical loading condition of the system. In still another embodiment, the transition probabilities are adjusted as a function of differences in rise-over-thermal values between neighboring sectors.

Method and apparatus for variable length Physical Layer (PL) packet generation. Multiple Security Layer (SL) packets may be multiplexed into a single PL packet to increase efficiency, wherein the SL packets may have variable lengths. In one embodiment, different format SL packets for different users are combined into capsules that form the PL packet. Shorter packets are for users in poor channel conditions or requiring smaller amounts of data due to the applications and the accompanying Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In one embodiment, a modified Preamble structure provides for Unicast or multi-user packets. Alternate embodiment provides modified Rate Sets, a mechanism for identifying ACK from a single-user packet or a multiplexed packet (delayed ACK). ON/OFF keying for ACK channel v/s bi-polar keying used in IS-856, and/or multi-valued interpretation of DRC.
摘要:
A method and system that reduces the peak-to-average power ratio of a reverse link signal is described. A baseband structure implements a peak reduction technique using peak windowing. A non-rectangular window is used to distort the signal. One embodiment of the window is an inverted-raised cosine with the peak reduction a function of the relative difference in the squared-magnitude of the envelope relative to that of the desired peak-to-average power ratio. Multiple passes through the peak-reduction function may be performed until a desired target peak-to-average power ratio is achieved.
摘要:
A wireless communications power saving method and apparatus is provided. The method includes establishing a circular buffer configured to maintain a number of most recently encountered frame delay times and waiting a frame delay time after receiving a further frame before the station enters a power save state. Frame delay time is a period equal to a largest most recently encountered frame delay period in the circular buffer. The method further determines, at a station, a dormancy time based on a number of data frames received since the station transitioned from an inactive mode to an active mode, a packet transmission rate, and a data frame time interval representing time between data frames received at the station, and causes the station to switch to a further inactive mode if a next packet is not received within the dormancy time after receipt of a previous packet.

Methods and apparatus for obtaining web content are disclosed. The method includes identifying resources identified by domain name references that a user may request, obtaining a status of at least one operating condition that affects operations of the communication device, fetching, in advance of the user requesting the content, network addresses of the resources so as to resolve the domain name references, and adapting a level of the fetching based upon the at least one operating condition. The network addresses of the resources are cached so as to generate cached network addresses, and if the user requests the content, the cached network addresses are utilized to access the resources associated with the content.
摘要:
In a high data rate communication system capable of variable rate transmission, an open loop rate control can be adjusted with a closed loop rate control to maximize throughput. An access point generates interleaved multi-slot packets that allow an access terminal to transmit indicator messages to the access point in accordance with recently received data carried within slots of the multi-slot packets.
