摘要:
Techniques for performing open-loop rate control in a TDD communication system are described. The channel quality of a first link is estimated based on a transmission received via the first link. The channel quality of a second link is estimated based on the estimated channel quality of the first link and an asymmetric parameter. At least one rate for a data transmission via the second link is selected based on the estimated channel quality of the second link. The estimated channel quality for each link may be given by a set of SNR estimates for a set of transmission channels on that link. The asymmetric parameter may be determined based on (1) the capabilities (e.g., transmit power, receiver noise figure, and number of antennas) of the transmitting and receiving stations or (2) received SNRs for the first and second links.

Hybrid fiber/coax networks employ the existing cable plant used for cable TV and transmit data signals in a frequency bandwidth above that which is used for cable TV. As this cable plant was deployed in a tree and branch topology, data transmissions may be susceptible to noise, variable transmission loss and frequency dispersion, particularly in the upstream direction. Further, due to the tree and branch topology, homes at the far end of the network experience much greater loss than do the homes that are near to the headend/ONU. The present system, which uses point-to-point data links between intelligent network elements located in the feeder/distribution network to provide reliable, secure, bi-directional broadband access. Digital signals are terminated at the intelligent network elements, switched and regenerated for transmission across additional upstream or downstream data links as needed to connect a home to a headend or router. The intelligent network elements can be co-located with or replace the standard network elements to take advantage of existing network configurations. The standard network elements can be selectively replaced by the intelligent network elements in an incremental approach. Packet handling at a network element includes receiving flows of packets from one or more devices coupled to the network element. A service instance associated with each packet in the packet flows is identified and a quality of service (QoS) class for each packet from the corresponding service instance is determined. The packet flow associated with each service instance is regulated according to corresponding policing criteria. In this manner, the data links are made over relatively short runs of coax cable, which can provide greater bandwidth than the typical end-to-end feeder/distribution connection between a home and the headend or optical network unit.
摘要:
A system and method for providing wireless time division multiplexed communications in which time is divided into a plurality of frames and each frame is divided into N data bursts, which has a first multiplexer defining a channel as a series of bursts that occur periodically every N bursts once per frame; a second multiplexer defining a sub-channel as every Mth burst of said channel; and a transmitter transmitting said channel and sub-channel from a first station to a second station. A new interleaving 0246/1357 method is used by the system which is just as good as the known 0123/4567 method when ideal frequency hopping is used, and 0246/1357 has better performance when non-ideal frequency hopping or no frequency hopping is used.

Data rate determination is provided in a system where the available power fraction and available Walsh codes in each active leg are dynamically changing over time. This method adapts the rate (modulation and coding) based on the combined resource (power & code space) levels seen at each cell. The method results in maximization of the rate supportable by each cell given their resource constrained situation while meeting the constraints of target packet or frame error rate and orthogonality. Furthermore, improved fast cell selection by the mobile results due to this approach that is based on knowledge of combined resource (power & code space) levels across the cells in the active set.
摘要:
Systems and techniques are disclosed relating to wireless communications. The systems and techniques involve wireless communications wherein a process, module or communications terminal schedules communications over a frame having a plurality of time slots. The process, module or communications terminal may be used to assign information to be transmitted between two terminals to a block of the time slots within a frame, and reordering the time slot assignments within the frame using a permutation function, the permutation function being a function of frame count.

Techniques for MAC processing for efficient use of high throughput systems that may be backward compatible with various types of legacy systems are disclosed. In one aspect, a data frame is formed comprising a common portion for transmission in a format receivable by various stations, such as access points and remote stations. The data frame also comprises a dedicated portion, formatted for transmission to a specified remote station. In another aspect, the common portion is unsteered, and the dedicated portion is steered. In another aspect, an access point schedules an allocation in response to a data indication included in a common portion of a data frame transmitted from one remote station to another. In another aspect, a first station transmits a reference to a second station, which measures the reference and generates feedback therefrom.

A system and method of implementing a radio link protocol completion oriented packet data communication system. A data backlog is described with a media access control layer controller and transmitting a BEGIN protocol data unit containing a flag transmitted to a receiver. A media access control layer transaction is initiated in response to the transmitting of the BEGIN protocol data unit.

The system includes a generator component that cycles through the plurality of portions that comprise the entirety of the error-indicating acknowledgement information to send the error-indicating acknowledgement information.
摘要:
A facility is provided for more efficiently controlling transmitted power in a forward link of CDMA telecommunications system. This is done by offsetting a power reference level that adjusts the level of the transmitted power using an power offset selected as a function of a transmission rate specified for the transmission of a coded frame. The coded frame is then transmitted at a power level selected as function of the adjusted power reference level, rather than the unadjusted level. Such efficiently is particularly noticeable when there is transition from one frame transmission rate to another such rate and vice-versa.
摘要:
The throughput of a radio transmission link is enhanced by arranging a transmitter of data packets so that it responds to the transmission window closing by repeatedly retransmitting all unacknowledged data packets and doing so until the window reopens or a receiver status message acknowledges receipt of a retransmitted data packet.
