Abstract: A system for controlling a contention state for a communication link between a base station controller and customer premises equipment in point-to-multipoint communication. The contention state is controlled using a state machine, which includes a grant pending absent state in which a unicast request slot is maintained open for use by the customer premises equipment. During the grant pending absent state, the customer premises equipment sends no upstream data to the base station controller but can use the unicast request slot to request a data slot for sending upstream data to the base station controller. In the grant pending state, the customer premises equipment preferably uses piggybacking to request grant of a next data slot while sending upstream data to the base station controller.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for dynamically controlling link parameters during communication between one or more receiver/transmitters. Transmissions are sent as frames from a Base Station Controller to one or more Customer Premises Equipment. Together with a payload, each frame contains a special control message that pre-announces to both the transmitter and receiver the link parameters to be used until changed. The receiving Customer Premises Equipment processes the link parameters and returns a payload of its own within the same frame. With this dynamic approach, link parameters may be changed as often as every frame.

Abstract: A system for controlling a contention state for a communication link between a base station controller and customer premises equipment in point-to-multipoint communication. The contention state is controlled using a state machine. The state machine includes a grant pending absent state in which a unicast request slot is maintained open for use by the customer premises equipment. During the grant pending absent state, the customer premises equipment sends no upstream data to the base station controller but can use the unicast request slot to request a data slot for sending upstream data to the base station controller. Preferably, the state machine further includes an idle state in which the customer premises equipment awaits arrival of data packets to send as upstream data to the base station controller. The state machine preferably further includes a deferring state in which the customer premises equipment defers contending for the data slot so as to avoid collisions with other customer premises equipment. The state machine also preferably includes a grant pending state in which the customer premises equipment awaits and receives grant of the data slot for sending upstream data to the base station controller and sends upstream data to the base station controller after grant of the data slot. In the grant pending state, the customer premises equipment preferably uses piggybacking to request grant of a next data slot while sending upstream data to the base station controller.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for scheduling for links having changing parameters. The method and system for scheduling for links having changing parameters is responsive to variations in communication capacity of communication links, such as wireless communication links in a wireless communication system. A BSC communicates with a plurality of CPE, including dynamically varying communication parameters for each CPE and substantially simultaneously scheduling traffic for each such CPE in response to those varying communication parameters. The BSC can schedule communication with each individual CPE in response to both (1) requested communication bandwidth and (2) varying communication capacity of the communication link between the BSC and that individual CPE. In a preferred embodiment, the BSC communicates with each CPE during a TDD frame. Sequences of such frames can each have differing communication parameters and can each be separately processed by the scheduling technique.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the issue of providing end-to-end delay guarantees in a multi-node communication system. More specifically, the present invention addresses the problem of specifying operational parameters of rate-controlled service disciplines in a communication network in order to efficiently provide end-to-end delay guarantees. The key contribution is a method for specifying leaky bucket parameters as well as scheduling delays at each node, which are used as inputs to the rate-controlled service discipline.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for adaptive point to multipoint wireless communication. The wireless physical layer and the wireless media-access-control (MAC) layer collectively include a set of parameters, which are adaptively modified by a base station controller for communication with a plurality of customer premises equipment. The base station controller adjusts communication with each customer premises equipment individually and adaptively in response to changes in characteristics of communication, including physical characteristics, amount of communication traffic, and nature of application for the communication traffic.

Abstract: A system that adapts wireless link parameters for a wireless communication link. A measure is determined of errors occurring in communication over a wireless link. In a case that the measure of errors corresponds to more errors than a first predetermined threshold, communication changes from a first set of wireless link parameters to a second set of wireless link parameters. The second set of wireless link parameters corresponds to higher error tolerance than the first set of wireless link parameters. In a case that the measure of errors corresponds to fewer errors than a second predetermined threshold, communication changes from the first set of wireless link parameters to a third set of wireless link parameters. The third set of wireless link parameters corresponds to lower error tolerance than the first set of wireless link parameters. Preferably, the measure of errors is determined by monitoring a number of NACK messages and a number of ACK messages that occur. It is determined that the measure of errors corresponds to more errors than the first predetermined threshold when more than a predetermined number of NACK messages occur in succession. It is determined that the measure of errors corresponds to fewer errors than the second predetermined threshold when more than a predetermined number of ACK messages occur in succession.
