A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving a SectorParameters message in an Active state is provided. The method comprises transmitting a SectorParameters message over a Forward Traffic Channel Medium Access Control(MAC) in superframe number wherein the superframe number is divisible by NOMPSectorParameters, setting a SectorSignature field of an ExtendedChannelInfo message to the SectorSignature field of a next SectorParameters message, determining if a multi-carrier mode is MultiCarrierOn and transmitting the SectorParameters message on each carrier.

Signaling-only access may be established with an access node under certain circumstances such as, for example, upon determining that a node is not authorized for data access at the access node. A node that is not authorized for data access at an access node may still be paged by the access node through the use of signaling-only access. In this way, transmissions by the access node may not interfere with the reception of pages at the node. A first node may be selected for providing paging while a second node is selected for access under certain circumstances such as, for example, upon determining that the second node provides more desirable service than the first node.

Paging load and/or registration load in a network is reduced by using different types of identifiers to specifying which nodes page an access terminal in the network. In some aspects, the network maintains a list that specifies that certain individual nodes (e.g., cells or sectors) are to page a given access terminal and/or that one or more zones (e.g., tracking areas) are to page the access terminal. In some aspects, an access terminal in a network may be configured to provide a forward-looking paging list to the network. The list provided by an access terminal may specify different types of node identifiers (e.g., individual node identifiers, subscriber groups, etc.). The network may then use the list to determine which nodes are to page a given access terminal such that when the access terminal moves to a different node, that node may already be configured to page the access terminal. In some aspect paging load and registration load are managed in a deployment that includes different types of access points. For example, access points of a first type (e.g., macro nodes) may provide service over relatively large coverage areas and access points of a second type (e.g., femto nodes) may provide service over smaller coverage areas and/or provide restricted service.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate utilizing restriction codes in rejecting connection requests with restricted association access points to indicate a reason for the rejection. Mobile devices can maintain a list of accessible access points and/or groups of access points, which can be consulted during cell reselection to ensure unsuitable restricted association access points are not utilized in cell reselection. Based on receiving a rejection code from a restricted association access point, a mobile device can remove the access point, or a related group, from its maintained list so that subsequent reselection attempts avoid the access point and/or access points in the related group.

A method and apparatus for transmitting a PilotReport message is provided, comprising generating the PilotReport message and determining if an Active Set Size value is greater than one. In an embodiment, the access terminal will send a PilotReport message if one of the following conditions occurs: If the Active Set Size is greater than one, and EnhancedPilotReportEnabled=1, and The strength of a pilot in the active set has changed by more than an EnhancedPilotReportThreshold since the last PilotReport was sent. If the Active Set Size is one, and EnhancedPilot ReportEnabled=1, and The strongest current non-active pilot (for example, pilot j) has strength more than the EnhancedPilotReportRatio fraction of the total interference, and The strength of pilot j is more than EnhancedPilotReportThreshold away than the strength of the second strongest pilot at the time the last pilot report was sent.

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving ConnectionClose message in a wireless communication system, the method characterized in that generating a ConnectionClose message characterized in that a 8 bit messageID field, a 3 bit CloseReason field, a 1 bit SuspendEnable field, a SuspendTime field and a 4 bit RegistrationRadiusFlag field, wherein the CloseReason field indicates the CloseReason by the sender, the SuspendTime field indicates the absolute system time of the end of its suspend period in units of superframes, the RegistrationRadiusFlag field indicates the RegistrationRadiusFlag which is public data of the Active Set Management Protocol.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for ZoneCode-based registration is described. A list of RegistrationZoneCodes is stored, wherein the list of RegistrationZoneCodes is associated with subnets visited by the access terminal. It is determined if a protocol cache information is keyed by a (Subnet, RegistrationZoneCode) pair. The cached information is deleted when the (Subnet, RegistrationZoneCode) pair is deleted from a RegistrationZoneCodeList. NOMPMinZoneSignatureListSize entries are stored in the RegistrationZoneCodeList. It is determined if the (Subnet, RegistrationZoneCode) pair from a SectorParameters message from a sector in an Active Set is not included in the RegistrationZoneCodeList. The (Subnet, RegistrationZoneCode) pair entry from a SectorParameters message from a sector in an Active Set are added to the RegistrationZoneCodeList. An ActiveSetManagement.SendPilotReport command is generated. It is determined if there are more entries in the RegistrationZoneCodeList than the supported size of the RegistrationZoneCodeList. The oldest (Subnet, RegistrationZoneCode) pair entries are deleted in the RegistrationZoneCodeList.

A global session state for communications between an access terminal and a plurality of network functions in the access network is maintained. A local session state for communications between the access terminal and one of the network functions in the access network is also maintained.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus related to management of active connections between an access terminal and access points are described. An access terminal maintains and manages active set information. The active set information identifies a set of access points with which the access terminal has an active connection. In some embodiments, the active set information includes allocated resources assigned to the access terminal corresponding to the different access points in the active set. Layer 2 Transport Tunneling is used, in various embodiments, to communicate connection request and/or connection response information, between access points. In some embodiments, the access terminal optionally assists in coordinating MAC resources allocated to the access terminal by different access points.
摘要:
A resource assignment method during a tune-away procedure comprises determining a first instance in time that a tune-away will initiate with respect to an access terminal, determining a second instance in time that corresponds to a latest frame boundary associated with the access terminal prior to the instance in time that the tune-away initiates, and determining resource assignment parameters associated with the access terminal and implementing the resource assignment parameters at the second instance in time. The method can further comprise ceasing communications to the access terminal over a forward link at the second instance in time and discontinuing monitoring reverse link control channels associated with the access terminal at the second instance in time.
