摘要:
Systems and methods for intelligently assigning a channel to a device being used by a mobile user in a power controlled, wireless communications system by minimizing the difference between a mobile user's received signal power and the minimum received signal power of a current user on a candidate carrier frequency. Each carrier frequency within a cell is examined to determine whether it has at least one current user assigned to a channel and also has at least one unoccupied channel. For each carrier frequency that meets both of these requirements, a channel quality metric is obtained for each occupied channel. The carrier frequencies are pruned down to a subset of candidate carrier frequencies using the channel quality metrics. Finally, a channel within the set of candidate carrier frequencies is selected by computing a cost function based on the received signal power of the mobile user and the received signal power of each occupied channel.

A method and communication device for media access control feedback over a packet channel divided in channel time slots is provided. The channel time slots are divided into sub-channel time slots. A packet channel feedback field associated with each sub-channel time slot is defined. Acknowledgments are indicated using the packet channel feedback field. An active mobile identity associated with an active mobile station may be assigned which would then be included in the packet channel feedback field. A plurality of active mobile identities may be assigned and some of the active mobile identities may be reserved for special functions. The assigned active mobile identity is used, among other things, to identify an active mobile station to receive packet data signals. The active mobility identity is invalidated after one transaction of packet data signals or invalidated after a short number of such transactions. One or more of the assigned active mobile identities may be used to indicate a time slot assignment for the active mobile station. A sub-channel feedback field in the packet channel feedback field is used to indicate acknowledgments. A sub-channel assignment field in the packet channel feedback field is used to indicate time slot assignments. The sub-channel assignment field is substantially independent of the sub-channel feedback field.

Various methods and devices are provided to address the need for improved mobile communications in heterogeneous networks. In one method, an anchor-cell transceiver node communicates with a mobile device via a primary link. The anchor-cell transceiver node conveys information for the mobile device to the mobile device by routing at least a portion of the information to the mobile device via a secondary-cell transceiver node.

Methods for jointly determining tones, power, scheduling and routing of links in a multi-carrier, multi-hop network to achieve certain desired throughput objectives between source and destination nodes. The methods effectively enhance or optimize throughput received by each destination router under node traffic constraints such as power, scheduling and flow constraints that apply to each link between each of a plurality of nodes within the mesh network.

Embodiments are described herein to provide improvements to known network interference cancellation techniques. One general approach involves a receiver attempting to decode (801) a received signal which includes signaling from a wireless device transmission and at least one interfering transmission. If the receiver is unsuccessful in attempting to decode the received signal, decoded signaling that corresponds to the interfering transmission is requested (802). The receiver then uses the decoded signaling to decode (803) the received signal.

Improved ranking and grouping techniques are disclosed for communication systems such as a multiple input multiple output system. For instance, techniques are disclosed for ranking and grouping users that are eligible for single-user and/or multiple-user transmissions. In one case, ranking and grouping are performed independently and, in another case, ranking and grouping are performed jointly.

The present invention provides a method of coordinating the uplink transmissions from at least one mobile unit to a plurality of base stations. The method is implemented in a control and data plane entity and includes scheduling, at the control plane function, uplink signals for transmission from the mobile unit(s) to the plurality of base stations. The method also includes receiving, at the data plane function from the plurality of base stations, signals including scheduled uplink signals transmitted from the mobile unit(s) to the plurality of base stations. The method further includes estimating, at the data plane function, information bits transmitted in the scheduled uplink signals using the received signals and channel state information indicative of a plurality of wireless communication links between the mobile unit(s) and the plurality of base stations.

The present invention provides a novel framing structure that can be used to smoothly evolve a Time Division Duplex (TDD) wireless communications technology to a Frequency Division Duplex wireless communications technology. A method for establishing the start time of an uplink frame that is offset in relation to a downlink frame by an allocation start time is provided. In addition, methods of allocating downlink and uplink resources for half-duplex and full frequency division duplex operation with adequate provisions for transmit-receive and receive-transmit time gaps are also provided.
摘要:
In an ad hoc network in which nodes communicate directly with each other or through another node, hole exchange messages are transmitted on an ongoing basis from one node to one or more other nodes. The spectrum hole message transmitted by a node provides a current view of the frequency spectrum as seen by the transmitting node, indicating where in the spectrum holes exist that are available for transmission. Hole exchange messages are transmitted by a node in response to either time triggers or event triggers. The former includes transmitting a hole exchange message periodically, pseudo-periodically, or according to a timer expiry. The latter includes events such as the node discovering the presence of a new node, receiving a request from another node for the node's current view of the spectrum, upon bearer selection during call setup between the node and another node, degradation of the link between the node and another node, and upon bearer release between the node and another node.

In the method for selecting a channel rate, link quality between the serving portion of the network and a mobile station is determined from at least one signal strength measurement. A channel rate is then selected based on the determined link quality. Also, a physical channel is assigned to the mobile station on a prioritized basis with respect to the selected channel rate.
