    Abstract: A base station determines occupancy of a channel used for message communication and transmits channel occupancy data to access terminals operable to transmit messages via the channel. An access terminal receives characters for sending a text message via the channel and determines whether the channel occupancy exceeds an occupancy threshold. If the channel occupancy exceeds the threshold, the access terminal transmits characters of the text message to the base station via multiple messages. Each of those messages including a number of characters that does not exceed a maximum number of characters associated with the threshold. If the channel occupancy does not exceed the threshold, the access terminal transmits characters of the text message to the base station via a single message so long as the number of characters does not exceed a maximum number of characters for sending a complete text message to the base station via a single message.

In at least one embodiment, a mobile station detects (i) that a target sector is a handoff candidate and (ii) that the target sector is not listed in a neighbor list of a source sector; requests to be served by the target sector at least in part by sending an access probe to the target sector; and transitions from engaging in an active communication session via a communication path not including the target sector to doing so via a communication path that does include the target sector. The access probe may include an indication that the mobile station is in an active state. In at least one embodiment, at least one network entity may carry out the one or more network-side aspects that may facilitate the above-described method.

    Abstract: A method and system for reducing resource consumption to extend battery life based on an estimated time to a destination location is provided. A mobile station having mobile station resources, and having a battery that provides power to the mobile station resources for executing applications, is located at a current location and is heading to a destination location. The mobile station allocates a first extent of the resources for execution of at least one application by the mobile station. The mobile station estimates a current travel time from the current location to reach the destination location, and estimates a current remaining power of the battery. Based on the estimated remaining power and the estimated travel time to reach the destination, the mobile station reduces the allocation of resources for execution of the at least one application from the first extent to a second extent.

    Abstract: While a first and second entity are engaging in a communication session on a wireless link, the first entity may be sending a series of power control commands (PCCs) directed to the second entity at a first transmission rate. Additionally, the first entity may monitor an actual and expected transmission-power adjustment of the second entity. Based on this monitored actual and expected transmission-power adjustment, the first entity may decide to alter the PCC transmission scheme for the second entity. For instance, if the monitored actual and expected transmission-power adjustment differs by a threshold extent, the power-controlling entity may decide to increase the PCC transmission rate for the power-controlled entity and/or increase the transmission-power adjustment instructed by PCCs directed to the second entity. In response, the first entity may begin sending the series of PCCs directed to the second entity according to the altered PCC transmission scheme.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for identifying and selectively controlling reverse-noise contribution on a per-access terminal basis. In an embodiment, an access node provides wireless service to access terminals, and measures reverse noise rise (RNR) during at least one turn of a round-robin process involving access terminals taking turns transmitting data or taking turns not transmitting data. The access node thereby determines a respective RNR contribution of at least one access terminal based at least on the measurement of RNR taken during the access terminals' turns. A high-contributor set of one or more access terminals is identified and then instructed to reduce reverse-link transmission power.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for determining which page attempt to shed. In accordance with these methods, when a page attempt from a first sequence directed to a first access terminal (AT) contends with a page attempt from a second sequence directed to a second AT for transmission over the air interface of a RAN, the RAN determines which sequence has been shed to a greater extent. The RAN then transmits the page attempt from the sequence that has been shed to a greater extent and sheds the page attempt from the sequence that has been shed to a lesser extent. The methods advantageously help to avoid one sequence of page attempts being disproportionately shed.

    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for dynamic setpoint adjustment during extended frame decoding. In accordance with an example embodiment, upon determining that a frame transmission from an access terminal has not been successfully decoded during a nominal frame period, a base station will implement a gradual increase of the setpoint in small steps over the course of an extended decoding interval. Beginning at the nominal termination target of an nominal frame period that failed to yield a successfully decoded frame, the setpoint is increased in a series of intermediate setpoint steps during a corresponding series of successive, intermediate decoding intervals which add up to the total duration of the extended decoding interval. Decoding during intermediate decoding intervals continues until either the virtual termination target is reached or successful decoding, whichever occurs first.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device determines a latitude indicator, longitude indicator, and received signal strength for its current location. The devices processes the latitude indicator, longitude indicator, and received signal strength to estimate its elevation at the location. The device also processes its handover history to determine a handover probability factor. The device then processes the estimated elevation and handover probability factor to estimate if the device is located in a building above an elevation level. If the estimate indicates that the device is located within the building above the elevation level, then the device modifies a handover parameter to inhibit handover attempts.

    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for synchronization among access terminals of periodic computations of time-averaged measures of noise-indication messages received from the base station. An access terminal in a wireless communication system that includes a base station will set a reference time for synchronization with at least one other access terminal of periodic computations of time-averaged measures of noise-indication messages received from the base station. The access terminal will then synchronize a start time of periodic intervals for computing time-averaged measures of periodic noise-indication messages received from the base station with the reference time, and determine rates for transmission of data to the base station based at least on the time-averaged measures computed for the periodic intervals. The access terminal will the transmit data to the base station at the determined rates.
