    摘要: A method and corresponding system for controlling billing for communication service. An area of coverage of a first wireless serving system is dynamically determined based on signals from one or more mobile stations served by the first wireless serving system. A determination is then made as to whether a mobile station was within the determined area of coverage of the first wireless serving system when the mobile station was being served with communication service by a second wireless serving system. And a billing rate, for billing for the communication service, is selected based at least in part on the determination.

    摘要: A mobile station requests origination of a call and reports signal strength measurements of pilot signals from multiple sectors, where some of the sectors support a preferred air interface configuration (such as RC 11) and some do not. The signal strength measurements may be evaluated to determine which sectors to use for the call and whether to use RC 11 or a default air interface configuration (such as RC 3 or RC 4) for the call. Sectors that support the preferred air interface configuration may be evaluated using a first threshold, and sectors that do not support the preferred air interface configuration may be evaluated using a second threshold. The first threshold can be greater than the second threshold, in order to favor the use of sectors that support the preferred air interface configuration over sectors that do not.

    摘要: A mobile station receives at least one frequency listing that identifies M downlink frequencies that may be used to receive communications from a wireless telecommunications network and N uplink frequencies that may be used to transmit communications to the wireless telecommunications network (M and N are integers greater than one). The mobile station selects a downlink frequency from among the M downlink frequencies and selects an uplink frequency from among the N uplink frequencies, independently of the downlink frequency. To make these selections, the mobile station may use a downlink hashing algorithm to map an identifier of the mobile station (such as MDN, MIN, IMSI, or ESN) to one of the M downlink frequencies and an uplink hashing algorithm to map the identifier to one of the N uplink frequencies.

    摘要: Methods and systems for reducing the frequency of handoffs to non-preferred wireless coverage areas are presented. In particular, a RAN may determine that a WCD is likely to begin roaming. The WCD may be served by a preferred wireless coverage area and may be likely to roam to a non-preferred wireless coverage area. In order to avoid drawbacks associated with letting the WCD roam, the RAN may grant the WCD one or more forms of increased service quality. For example, the RAN may use a roaming-likelihood value as a basis for determining a page-concatenation level for the page, concatenate the page according to the determined page-concatenation level, and then transmit the page.

    摘要: A method and system is disclosed for maintaining codec consistency across a communication session. When a communication session is set up for an access terminal (AT) operating in a wireless communication system, a network device, such a base station, can determine a coding rate to assign the AT for its air interface in a manner that accounts for network capacity variations spatially and/or temporally across the session. If the requested communication session is determined to be with a landline device, then a higher coding rate may be used than might otherwise be selected. If the requested session is with another AT, then a coding rate that best accommodates the air interfaces of both ATs may be used. If the AT is predicted to handoff to multiple sectors during the session, then a coding rate that best accommodates the air interfaces of all the predicted handoff sectors may be used.

    摘要: A method, system, and apparatus for managing spreading codes used in communication over a radio frequency air interface. When a radio access network (RAN) is to assign a spreading code to a mobile station in the coverage area, the RAN may determine which mobile station currently having an assigned traffic channel in the coverage area has a highest forward-link signal quality, and the RAN may select a spreading code based on the spreading code of that determined mobile station's assigned traffic channel. For instance, the RAN may select a spreading code that is quasi-orthogonal to the spreading code of the determined mobile station's assigned traffic channel.

The method includes exchanging wireless communications with a plurality of user devices using a first communication mode that uses a first frequency spectrum and a second communication mode that uses a second frequency spectrum. The method also includes transferring a first bit sequence using the first communication mode to a first set of the user devices to indicate the presence of first pages pending on a paging channel portion of the first communication mode. The method also includes transferring a second bit sequence using the second communication mode to a second set of the user devices to indicate the presence of second pages pending on a paging channel portion of the second communication mode, where the second set of the of user devices tune away from the first communication mode to the second communication mode to receive the second bit sequence. The method also includes configuring a third set of the of user devices to tune away from the first communication mode to the second communication mode to check for the presence of third pages pending on the paging channel portion of the second communication mode.

    摘要: A multi-mode mobile station is able to communicate with a first system using a first air interface protocol (e.g., EVDO) and with a second system using a second air interface protocol (e.g., 1×RTT CDMA). When the first system schedules a page message for transmission to the multi-mode mobile station, the first system may query the second system to determine whether the second air interface protocol is being used for a current call involving the multi-mode mobile station or is being used to attempt establishment of a requested call to the multi-mode mobile station. In the case of a current call, the first system may wait until the call is released before transmitting the page message. In the case of an attempt to establish a requested call, the first system may wait to determine whether the attempt is successful before transmitting the page message.
