摘要:
In a Hybrid Automatic Repeat ReQuest (HARQ) communication system, a receiver receives from a transmitter a HARQ sub-burst. A retransmission counter (RE_TX_CNT) in the receiver is incremented if either: (i) the receiver cannot decode the sub-burst, or (ii) no retransmission of the sub-burst is received within a Predetermined Retransmission Delay (PRD) interval. If RE_TX_CNT reaches a Maximal Retransmission Count (MAX_RE_CNT), then information for the sub-burst that was previously stored for HARQ purposes in a soft combining buffer in the receiver is flushed. Parameters that set the PRD interval and the MAX_RE_CNT value are pre-negotiated between the transmitter and the receiver. In another embodiment, if a novel timer in the receiver indicates that a first threshold time has elapsed after receipt of an undecodable HARQ transmission then buffered information is marked, whereas if the timer indicates that a second threshold time has elapsed then the marked information is flushed.

Methods for a mobile station to handover between IEEE 802.16e and 802.16m systems are provided. The mobile station is served by an IEEE 802.16e-only base station or an IEEE 802.16e zone of a 16e/16m-conexistence base station. In a zone-switch based handover procedure, the mobile station first performs an IEEE 802.16e legacy handover procedure such that the mobile station handovers from the serving base station to an IEEE 802.16e zone of a target base station. The mobile station then performs a zone-switch procedure such that the mobile station switches from the IEEE 802.16e zone to an IEEE 802.16m zone of the target base station. In a direct handover procedure, the mobile station performs an IEEE 802.16m handover procedure such that the mobile station handovers from the serving base station to the IEEE 802.16m zone of the target base station directly.

A method of uplink power control in a wireless OFDMA system is provided. A serving base station first configures a fast feedback channel by transmitting a feedback allocation message to a mobile station. The mobile station then reports downlink channel information via the allocated fast feedback channel. Based on the reported downlink channel information, the serving base station estimates uplink channel quality and thereby detects a channel variation and generates an uplink power adjustment message that delivers a power offset to adjust the transmitting power level of the mobile station. In one novel aspect, the uplink power adjustment message also comprises feedback allocation information that re-configures the fast feedback channel without extra signaling overhead. In addition, the novel power adjustment message eliminates redundant information such that it is transmitted via a minimum resource unit without requiring extra resource.

A method of power management for a mobile station in a multi-carrier wireless network is provided. A primary connection between the mobile station and a serving base station is first established by performing initial ranging over a primary radio frequency (RF) carrier. A secondary connection between the mobile station and the base station is then established by performing periodic ranging over a secondary RF carrier. To achieve efficient power management, the mobile station performs Open Loop Power Control and obtains long-term link measurement (CSI) of the primary carrier. The mobile station then adjusts carrier-specific parameters based on the primary carrier CSI. For RF carriers that convey on-going data traffic, Close Loop Power Control is updated per RF carrier. When the mobile station enters sleep mode operation, it receives traffic indication messages on the primary RF carrier and then dynamically wakes up one or more corresponding RF carriers for data reception.

A method for transmitting system information bit streams of one or more base stations in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes: identifying network-entry-related bit streams and non-network-entry-related bit streams from the system information bit streams, where the network-entry-related bit streams carry essential system information for a terminal to access a network through at least one of the base stations; modulating the network-entry-related bit streams according to a first set of modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) and modulating the non-network-entry-related bit streams according to a second set of MCSs; and transmitting the system information bit streams with different frequencies, where the network-entry-related bit streams are periodically transmitted according to a first predetermined period.

A method of multi-set RRC signaling for ap-SRS configuration is provided to enhance ap-SRS flexibility. An eNB transmits a plurality of sets of UE-specific SRS parameters to a UE via upper layer messaging in a multi-carrier wireless communication system. The eNB also determines triggering information of a selected set of UE-specific SRS parameters and an indicated carrier for the UE. The eNB then transmits an uplink or downlink grant over a primary carrier, the grant comprises triggering information for the UE to send an ap-SRS over the indicated carrier using the selected set of UE-specific SRS parameters. In one embodiment of joint signaling, the plurality of sets of UE-specific SRS parameters are signaled together in a single RRC transmission. In another embodiment of separate signaling, each set of UE-specific SRS parameters is signaled independently.

A method of power control message indexing is provided in a wireless Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) network. A base station configures fast feedback channels (FFBCHs) and mobile stations report downlink channel information via the configured FFBCHs. Based on the received channel information, the base station estimates uplink channel quality and detects any channel variation. In response to uplink channel variation, the base station delivers power offsets to adjust the transmit power levels of the mobile stations. In one advantageous aspect, the power control commands for mobile stations are aggregated and the indexing scheme of the power control commands is implicitly based on the configured FFBCHs. For example, if a FFBCH is located at a first location in an uplink frame, then a following power control command in response to the FFBCH is located at a second location in a downlink frame, the second location is located after the first location with a predefined fixed delay time.

A cell reselection method and system using an active measurement set in a mobile communication, which determines whether the user equipment enters in a power-saving mode based on the signal strength and strength variability of a serving cell and the mobile feature of a user equipment. In the power-saving mode, in accordance with the signal strength of neighboring cells on the serving cell, an active measurement set is formed with cells that are selected from the neighboring cells broadcasted by a WCDMA system and have stronger signals. The user equipment only requires measuring the cells in the active measurement set. Thus, since the cell number of the active measurement set is smaller than that defined by the WCDMA system, the number of neighboring cells required to be measured is reduced, so as to reduce the power dissipation and increase the idle time on the user equipment.

Methods and systems for providing fast handoff in WLAN-like communications system construct a caching candidate set based upon a weighted handoff tendency coefficient. The weighted handoff tendency coefficient is based upon the handoff matrix and the weighting factor. The handoff matrix is an adaptive two-dimensional array that provides a list of nearby access points relative to a mobile station and the weighting factor is a value that prioritizes the nearby access points based upon a signal quality indication. A home access point, once it is triggered to initialize proactive caching, provides the caching candidate set with registration data of the mobile station before a transfer of a connection between the home access point and one of the access points on the caching candidate set.
