摘要:
A method for adaptive transmission of control information in a wireless communication system may include generating a control segment carrying control information. The control segment may have a configurable size. The method may also include generating a pointer for the control segment. The pointer may indicate a location of the control segment in a downlink subframe. The pointer may also indicate a size of the control segment. The method may also include sending the pointer and the control segment.

A method for allocating resources in a wireless communications environment comprises receiving a mapping between a first hop-port and frequency range, and determining whether to map a second access terminal to a second hop-port that is mapped to at least the same frequency range during a substantially similar instance in time, the determination made as a function of characteristics relating to a first access terminal associated with the first hop-port. The method can further include determining that the first access terminal is a candidate for employing Space-Division Multiple Access (SDMA), and mapping the second-hop port and associating the second access terminal with the second hop-port when the second access terminal is also a candidate for employing SDMA.
摘要:
To avoid or reduce intra-cell interference, each sector of a cell is associated with a sector-specific set of system resources (e.g., subbands) and at least one non-overlapping common set of system resources. Each common set for each sector includes system resources observing little or no interference from at least one other sector in the cell. The channel condition for a terminal in a given sector x is ascertained based on forward and/or reverse link measurements for the terminal. The terminal is assigned system resources from a common set or a sector-specific set for sector x based on the terminal's channel condition. For example, if the terminal observes high interference from another sector y, then the terminal is assigned system resources from a common set that observes little or no interference from sector y. The techniques may be used for an OFDMA system that uses frequency hopping.

Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate dynamic reverse link rate control by an access terminal and in-band signaling of changes of the reverse link rate by the access terminal.
摘要:
For restrictive reuse, each cell (or each sector) is assigned (1) a set of usable subbands that may be allocated to users in the cell and (2) a set of forbidden subbands that is not used. The usable and forbidden sets for each cell are orthogonal to one other. The usable set for each cell also overlaps the forbidden set for each neighboring cell. A user u in a cell x may be allocated subbands in the usable set for that cell. If user u observes/causes high level of interference from/to a neighboring cell y, then user u may be allocated subbands from a “restricted” set containing subbands included in both the usable set for cell x and the forbidden set for cell y. User u would then observe/cause no interference from/to cell y. The subband restriction may be extended to avoid interference from multiple neighboring cells.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate selecting and/or reselecting one or more access points, related cells, or carriers based at least in part on calculating an energy efficiency related to the access points. In particular, the energy efficiency can be based at least in part on an estimated pathloss and/or a level of interference related to communicating with the access points. Moreover, load parameters related to the access point can be received and evaluated in selecting and/or reselecting the access point. Thus, access points can be selected or reselected based on parameters other than forward link transmit power. In addition, pathloss and/or interference levels can be weighed based on access point type to prevent macrocell overloading.

摘要:
Techniques for mitigating interference in a wireless communication system are described. In an aspect, a base station may periodically broadcast a load indication to convey information such as whether or not to use interference mitigation, which interference mitigation scheme to use, resources to apply interference mitigation, duration of interference mitigation, etc. Terminals may receive the load indication and perform interference mitigation as indicated by the load indication. In one design, a terminal may receive a load indication from a base station that the terminal desires to access. The terminal may determine whether to obtain reserved resources having reduced interference based on the load indication. In another design, a terminal may receive a load indication from a neighbor base station. The terminal may determine whether to reduce its transmit power or to request for resources prior to transmission based on the load indication.
