摘要： Portions of transmitted messages, such as a portion of a service option field, can include a coded representation. The coded representation can correlate to previously stored information as retained at a receiving unit. Upon receiving the coded representation, the receiving unit can use it to access a specific item of previously stored information and then use that information. For example, a previously stored text message can be displayed and/or special annunciation tones can be used to signify specific events, such as the initiation of an interconnect or dispatch call type prior to actual complete initiation of such a call. In one embodiment, a relative station of transmission as corresponds to the coded representation can also be used to further aid in correlating the coded representation to a specific item of information.

摘要： The need to reduce the cost associated with signaling mobiles (120) across multiple cells (101–108) is addressed by embodiments of the present invention. A targeted MS is initially paged only in those cells in which the paging channel loading level is below a particular paging threshold. Similarly for short messaging, the RAN transmits the short messaging to the MS only in those cells in which the paging channel loading level is below a short messaging threshold. Therefore, the MS can be signaled in under-loaded cells first, were the effect on system capacity and performance is negligible. When successful, the MS signaling is achieved at a lower cost to the system than when loaded cells are involved.

摘要翻译： 通过本发明的实施例来解决与多个小区（101-108）上的信令移动台（120）相关联的成本的需要。 目标MS最初仅在寻呼信道加载等级低于特定寻呼阈值的小区中寻呼。 类似地，对于短消息传送，RAN仅在寻呼信道加载级别低于短​​消息门限的那些小区中向MS发送短消息。 因此，MS可以首先在负载较小的信元中发信号，对系统容量和性能的影响可以忽略不计。 当成功时，与信号载入相比，以较低的成本实现了MS信令。

摘要： The present embodiments address the need for an apparatus and method that provides additional orthogonal codes without trading off RF capacity. When a system is operating near its RF capacity and running out of available orthogonal codes, one or more channels are allocated using a new radio configuration (510) that utilizes longer orthogonal codes. This new radio configuration increases the number of available orthogonal codes without sacrificing RF capacity. Instead, it reduces the peak data rate such a channel can provide.

摘要： An apparatus and method for optimizing the transition of a Mobile Station (MS) between states of operation for packet data service. An RF connection is established between the MS and Base Site Equipment (BS) for the transmission of data packets. After a period of inactivity of transmission, the RF connection is released and the BS provides the MS with the equipment identifier of the network element that will maintain the connection with a PDSN. The MS retains the identifier while in the Dormant state and a new Semi-Dormant state and sends the identifier to the BS when requesting reactivation. In the Dormant state, the network element maintaining the connection to the PDSN is the PCF. In the Semi-Dormant state, the network element maintains the connection between to the PDSN is the SDU. When the BS has data to transmit to a MS in the Semi-Dormant state, it channel assigns the MS into the Active state according to pilots reported in RF Measurement Report Messages previously received from the MS.

摘要： When the user is actively transmitting/receiving or has recently transmitted/received on the RF channel, the user is referred to as being in an “active” state. Typically, if the user is in the active state, and neither sends nor receives data for a timer period greater than a threshold, then the user is transitioned off of the RF channel (e.g. transitioned from active to dormant). Once a transition to the dormant state has occurred, the continued transmission or re-transmission of data over an RF channel can result in a delay in re-accessing the RF channel. In order to address this problem, the idle-timer threshold is dynamically adjusted based on a communication system statistic to increase system performance.

摘要翻译： 当用户主动地发送/接收或者最近在RF信道上发送/接收时，用户被称为处于“主动”状态。 通常，如果用户处于活动状态，并且既不发送也不接收大于阈值的定时器周期的数据，则用户从RF信道（例如，从活动转换到休眠）转换。 一旦发生到休眠状态的转变，通过RF信道的数据的继续传输或再传输可导致再次访问RF信道的延迟。 为了解决这个问题，基于通信系统统计量来动态地调整空闲定时器阈值以提高系统性能。

摘要： An apparatus (18) and method (100) provide RLP data checking. The apparatus (10) includes a frame serialization stage (20) and a bad frame filter (22) that detects possible bad frames and reclassifies these bad frames as erasures. In this manner, bad frame data are not passed to the RLP layer (16), and unnecessary resetting and resynchronization steps are avoided.

摘要： Retransmissions of NAK'd frames takes place utilizing a retransmission channel (103-105). In particular, NAK'd frames are retransmitted to requesting remote units (113-115) on a channel (103-105) differing from the channel (109) in which they were originally broadcast to the remote units (113-115). Because retransmission of poorly-received frames occurs utilizing a channel that differs from the downlink multicast channel, the downlink transmission rate of the downlink channel is not reduced when retransmission needs to take place. This greatly improves data transmission to those units not requesting retransmission of data.

摘要翻译： 使用重传信道（103-105）进行NAK帧的重传。 特别地，NAK'd帧在与原始广播的信道（109）不同的信道（103-105）上重传到请求远程单元（113-115）到远程单元（113-115）。 由于利用与下行链路多播信道不同的信道来发送接收不良的帧的发送，所以在需要进行重发时，下行链路信道的下行链路传输速率不会降低。 这大大提高了数据传输到不要求重传数据的单元。

摘要： To address the need for an interference-efficient method and apparatus to provide CDMA services, embodiments of the present invention adjust the outer loop frame error rate (FER) target on the forward and reverse links (110-113) while providing communication services to remote units (101-102). At times during a service when a link is conveying primarily “empty” eighth rate frames, the FER target for that link is increased. This improves system capacity by effectively reducing the power needed to transmit such frames and thereby reducing the resultant interference.

摘要： To address the need for a communication unit, a communication infrastructure, and method that shorten call-setup time while still providing the benefit of the QPCH, the present invention provides a communication unit (e.g., 103) that sends a page response before receiving a page message from the communication infrastructure, based on the values of the QPCH indicators. This “preemptive” page response shortens call-setup time. Because several communication units may send page responses before verifying whether they specifically are being paged, the infrastructure (e.g., 108-110) determines which page responses are valid (and processes them further) and which are false (and discards them).

摘要翻译： 为了解决对通信单元的需求，通信基础设施和方法，其在仍然提供QPCH的优点的同时缩短呼叫建立时间，本发明提供了一种通信单元（例如，103），其在接收之前发送寻呼响应 基于QPCH指示符的值，来自通信基础设施的页面消息。 此“抢占式”页面响应缩短了呼叫建立时间。 因为几个通信单元可以在验证它们是否被特定地被寻呼之前发送寻呼响应，所以基础设施（例如，108-110）确定哪些页面响应是有效的（并进一步处理），哪些是错误的（并丢弃它们）。

摘要： Rate assignment circuitry (102) detects when a data transmission begins and originally assigns an Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) code corresponding to low data rate. Over time, a base station controller (101) determines when an OVSF code and/or a repetition rate should be changed (i.e., data rate increased or decreased). The OVSF code and/or the repetition rate is changed in order to gradually increase the data rate, up to a maximum allowable data rate. Once data transmission ceases for a period of time the OVSF code and/or the repetition rate is changed in order to gradually decrease the data rate, down to a lowest allowable data rate.
