Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method for dynamically adapting a modulation and coding scheme for a base station transmitting a multicast-and-broadcast service to a plurality of subscribers. The method comprises periodically performing a transmission adapting process. The transmission adapting process comprises steps of setting a feedback condition according to a coverage corresponding to the multicast-and-broadcast service and sending a negative-acknowledge-based feedback query including the feedback condition, a feedback channel and feedback information corresponding to the multicast-and-broadcast service to the subscribers. According to a feedback-receiving status, the base station adapts a modulation and coding scheme for transmitting the multicast-and-broadcast service.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method for receiving a feedback for at least a multicast broadcast service flow transmitting to a plurality of subscriber stations. The method comprises steps of assigning a plurality of code division multiple access (CDMA) codes to a feedback corresponding to the multicast broadcast service flow and then performing an allocation process for allocating a feedback channel for the subscriber stations. Thereafter, an announcement process is performed to announce a multiple feedback condition, the CDMA codes and the feedback channel to the subscriber stations. A channel monitoring process is performed for receiving a negative-acknowledgment (NACK)-based feedback sending from one of the subscriber stations unsatisfied with the multiple feedback condition and the NACK-based feedback is in a form of one of CDMA codes corresponding to the multicast broadcast service flow and is transmitted through the feedback channel.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a scheduling unit in a wireless communication system. For sequentially receiving a plurality of Protocol Data Units (PDUs) in a plurality of communication sessions, accumulate and schedule the plurality of PDUs during a predetermined time frame, and transmit the PDUs based on a maximum power-strength of the wireless communication system. The scheduling unit comprises a time-based scheduler and a power-based scheduler. When the power-based scheduler schedules the PDUs, if the total sum of the required power of the PDUs exceeds the maximum power-strength of the wireless communication system, the power-based scheduler sends back to the time-based scheduler the PDUs whose power amounts to the exceeding of the maximum power-strength of the wireless communication system according to the corresponding priority values of the PDUs, so that the wireless communication system transmits all at a time the remaining PDUs whose total power remains within the maximum power-strength.
Abstract:
A method of relay transmission in a mobile communication system. The mobile communication system includes at least one base station and a plurality of user equipment units (UEs). When one of the UEs attempts to send a message to the base station, this one of the UEs, referred to as a requesting UE, is capable of using the method of relay transmission to send messages to the base station via another one or more UEs, referred to as relay UEs. The method of relay transmission includes the following steps. First, a relay request confirmation procedure for the requesting UE and the relay UE is performed. Second, a base station confirmation procedure for the requesting UE, the relay UE, and the base station is executed. Next, an identity authentication procedure for the requesting UE, the relay UE, and the base station is performed. After that, a relay start confirmation procedure for the requesting UE and the relay UE is executed. Finally, a relay transmission procedure for the requesting UE, the relay UE, and the base station is performed, wherein the requesting UE sends the message to the base station via the relay UE. According to the invention, high data rate transmission can be achieved even if the requesting UE is distant from the base station, and thus communication quality can be improved, with a reduced cost.

The PLMN coverage overlaps the WLAN coverage linking the two together. First, the wireless terminal obtains an ID, attaches to a PLMN, and then transmits the ID to PLMN to authenticate and register. After authentication, the PLMN generates an authentication code and transmits the code to a wireless terminal. Additionally, the PLMN transmit the authentication code to at least one WLAN. The wireless terminals must communicate with at least one WLAN.
Abstract:
Methods for multi-user detection in a CDMA-based channel for use in a base station receiver are provided. Signals, each including a CDMA code, are received. Correlation operations are performed on CDMA codes of received signals respectively to obtain corresponding first correlation values. CDMA codes are divided into first and second code groups according to a threshold and corresponding first correlation values. An interference cancellation procedure is performed on received signals to remove signals corresponding to first code group therefrom and to obtain a removed signal. Correlation operations are performed on CDMA codes of removed signal to obtain corresponding second correlation values. Each first correlation value is subtracted from a corresponding second correlation value and compared with a threshold to generate a comparison result. Whether CDMA codes within first code group are correct are determined according to comparison results, wherein the threshold is dynamically adjusted according to comparison results.

Abstract:
This invention provides a method for power-efficient transmission supporting integrated service over WLAN. The said invention combines the polling-based and the contention-based mechanisms, named on-demand polling (ODP). In the ODP scheme, a voice station is in the polling list when it is in the active mode. During the idle mode, it is configured to operate in the sleep mode for saving power. Also, it adopts the contention-based mechanism to join the list again while returning from the idle mode. On the other hand, the data station adopts the contention-based mechanism to transmit its packets over WLAN. In addition, to achieve service differentiation, the said invention also employs a prioritized access probability for voice over data services. Simulation results show that the said invention can reduce the power consumption for voice stations and enhance the throughput for data stations.

A method for providing resource allocation in a communication network includes identifying at least two broadcast zones for receiving broadcast services in the communication network and generating a first index based on a relative relationship among the at least two broadcast zones. The first index includes information indicative of whether a first broadcast zone overlaps with at least one other broadcast zone. The method further includes generating a second index based on the relative relationship among the at least two broadcast zones; assigning at least one identifier to each of the at least two broadcast zones based on the first index and the second index; and enabling data transmissions to the at least two broadcast zones based on the assigned identifiers and using the at least one communication resource associated with the identifiers. The second index may include information indicative of a number of broadcast zones overlapped with the first broadcast zone. Each identifier may be associated with at least one communication resource, with distinct identifiers being assigned to overlapping broadcast zones of the at least two broadcast zones.
