摘要:
A method of dynamic resource allocations in wireless network is disclosed. The method provides that a base station in the network allocates resources to users independently of other base stations and without resource planning. Resource allocations are done based at least in part on a local optimization objective and a channel quality indicator from one or more users, and result in efficient resource reuse.

A routing protocol, according to one embodiment of which a first station of a wireless network monitors its outgoing transmissions corresponding to a traffic flow for occurrence of multi-tier signals and for ability to achieve a specified minimum transmission rate. Based on the monitoring, the first station may transmit an outgoing solicitation message that identifies the monitored traffic flow as a candidate for rerouting. Upon receipt of the solicitation message, a second station of the wireless network evaluates whether rerouting of the monitored traffic flow through the second station is capable of increasing data throughput for that traffic flow without decreasing data throughputs for other traffic flows presently handled by the second station. Based on this evaluation, the second station may transmit to the first station an offer to reroute the monitored traffic flow. The first station, in turn, evaluates this offer, e.g., by comparing its benefits with those of alternative offers that the first station might have received from other stations of the wireless network in response to the solicitation message. Based on the latter evaluation, the first station may reroute the monitored traffic flow through the station whose offer is deemed preferable.

An active set of base stations may be controlled based on whether data is unavailable at base stations within the active set. The base station may transmit an indicator indicating whether data is unavailable at the base station and/or a mobile station may monitor a channel characteristic of at least a portion of a channel between the base station and the mobile station.

An active session mobility solution for radio link protocol (RLP) in accordance with the present invention defines two RLP migrations states. A first state is defined as a forward-link RLP state and depicts the communication of data from a home agent to an access terminal in an IP network. A second state is defined as a reverse-link RLP state and depicts the communication of data from the access terminal to the home agent in the IP network. In one embodiment of the seamless active session mobility solution for RLP in accordance with the present invention, a two-stage RLP transfer process for the migration of the two defined states from a source to a target is implemented. In a first stage, the forward-link RLP state is transferred from a source to a target. In a second stage, frame selection and the reverse-link RLP are transferred from the source to the target.

A wireless communications system is provided in which transmissions may be made in either a diversity mode or a non-diversity mode on a slot by slot basis. When transmitting in the diversity mode, separate pilot signals are delivered over a first and second antenna. When transmitting in the non-diversity mode, substantially identical pilot signals are delivered over the first and second antennas with available pilot power substantially equally distributed therebetween.

A method and apparatus for increasing in the data rate of a multiple-input and/or multiple-output system that has frequency selective fading by using training sequences with both low normalized auto-correlation and low normalized cross-correlation. Both 1) the sum of the square of the normalized auto-correlation of each training sequence over an auto-correlation window and 2) the sum of the square of the normalized cross-correlation of each pair of the training sequences over a cross-correlation window, are significantly less than unity. In one embodiment of the invention the training sequences are shifted versions of each other, and the low normalized cyclic-auto-correlation of cyclic sequences is significantly less than unity, with each cyclic sequence being N′, N′=N−L+1, symbols of one of the at least two training sequences. In another embodiment, the training sequences are ones where the trace of the inverse of the product of the matrix of training sequences' symbols and the conjugate transpose of this matrix is low. The matrix is a function of the number of symbols over which multipaths of significant power can arrive, the number of training sequences, and the number of symbols in a training sequence. More particularly the matrix is a block-toeplitzmatrix composed of the training symbols.

Pilot signals transmitted by different antennas in a wireless communication system using multiple transmit antennas are distinguished using different codes. In one embodiment, each of two antennas simultaneously transmit a time slot's worth of data while time division multiplexing a pilot signal with the data. The pilot signal from the first antenna is encoded with a first code such as a Walsh code and the pilot signal from the second antenna is encoded with a different code such as a different Walsh code. The different codes enable a receiver to distinguish the pilot signals when they are received to enable coherent detection of signals transmitted by both of the antennas.
摘要:
In a system in which the modulation scheme employed may change on a per-time-slot basis, a user's available data rate may change even if the user maintains the same number of time slots, because the capacity of the user's time slots may change. If one or more such changes in modulation scheme occurs, the data rate available to the user may no longer match his current data rate needs. Therefore, a method is disclosed for determining the number of time slots to assign to a user as a function of the user's current data rate requirement and the actual current cumulative data rate of the time slots currently assigned to the user. The user data rate requirement may further be a function of a quality of service (QoS) contracted for by the user. Thus, the assignment of the time slots within the frame is made dynamically and the number of time slots employed by a user is increased or decreased according to the user's current data rate requirements and the ability of the time slots already assigned to the user to meet those requirements.

In a wireless communication system, the constellation mapping scheme employed may be changed on a per-time-slot basis, i.e., from time slot to time slot, so that the constellation used to encode the symbols of each time slot may be different for each time slot within a single frame and may be different for a particular time slot in different consecutive frames. In other words, several constellation mapping schemes are available, with each providing the ability to transmit a different number of bits per symbol, and the particular constellation mapping scheme employed for any time slot need be selected for that time slot only. The ability to use any particular constellation mapping scheme is dependent on the current channel quality. The particular constellation mapping used for the user data of the time slot may be indicated in the preamble of the time slot. To this end, each time slot may have its own preamble that is mapped with a constellation mapping scheme which is a) known a priori, b) may be the same for all time slots, and c) may be different from the constellation mapping scheme used to encode user data in the time slot. A receiver can determine the constellation mapping used for each time slot from solely from the preamble of the time slot.
