摘要： A method and an apparatus for adaptively allocating available bandwidth for network users. The method is particularly beneficial in improving a viewing experience for mobile devices accessing the network, while also maximizing the number of supported users within the network. An adaptively adjusted control parameter is used in conjunction with a utility function to assign a provisional rate for users entering the network. Based on the assigned provisional rate, the method then admits prospective new network users, if enough free capacity exists to service the new user at the provisional rate.

摘要： Techniques and systems for planning of wireless networks are described. A system according to an aspect of the present invention receives inputs describing traffic statistics for a wireless network and computes network specifications. The system uses the traffic statistics and network specifications as inputs to a computationally tractable model used to compute parameters for the user level performance of the wireless network. The model may suitably be a processor sharing queuing model. The model employed by the planning system allows analytical solution for the desired user level parameters, given the characteristics and conditions entered as inputs and the intended network layout characteristics. Once a set of user level performance parameters has been computed, the values of the parameters are examined to determine if they meet predetermined requirements, in an iterative process continuing until a set of specifications has been developed that produces parameters meeting the requirements.

摘要： In one aspect, a system is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a plurality of wireless base stations that are located in a contiguous spatial coverage region of a cellular communication system. Each wireless base station that is configured to generate a coverage pilot beam to enable wireless mobile devices to set up spread spectrum wireless communication links with the generating wireless base station. The wireless base stations are configured to transmit data to the wireless mobile devices to cause a portion of the wireless mobile devices to reselect ones of wireless base stations for wireless communication links in a manner that reduces power load imbalances between the wireless base stations. The transmitted data is indicative of a set of shadow prices, wherein each of the wireless base stations is associated with a corresponding one of the shadow prices.

摘要： An advantageous scheduling template slot ordering for use in establishing a scheduling order of events such as transmitting communication signals in a communication network is determined by assigning at least two initial slot positions to a particular signal class and then determining a regularity measure based on a lower bound for the regularity measure of such assignments and the remaining unassigned slot positions. This lower bound for the regularity measure of the unassigned slots is advantageously based on a hypothetical assignment of fractions of the slot positions to different signal classes instead of limiting the assignment of a slot to a single signal class. This fractional slot assignment produces a regularity measure that is better than or equal to a corresponding regularity measure based on assigning a whole slot to a particular signal class. The lower bound of the regularity measure is then compared with a threshold regularity measure, such as from a known reference scheduling template. If the threshold regularity measure is lower than the determined lower bound, then it is known that the reference template would provide a more desirable regularity of events than any template having the assigned slot positions to that particular signal class. As a consequence, other slot assignments can be compared to the reference template to rapidly identify scheduling templates with enhanced regularity characteristics.

摘要： A multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) communication system is configured to perform user scheduling with reduced channel station information. The system includes multiple terminals and at least one base station configured to communicate with the terminals. The base station is operative to obtain channel vector magnitudes for respective ones of the terminals, to identify a subset of the terminals based on the channel vector magnitudes, to obtain channel vector phase information for the identified subset of terminals, and to utilize the channel vector phase information to control transmission to the identified subset of terminals. The system may be, for example, a multi-user MIMO system in which the multiple terminals comprise autonomous single-antenna terminals.

摘要： The alternate destination redirection (ADR) feature (102) of telephone switching systems (101) or an equivalent is used to implement a “post-route” routing architecture having the benefits of a “pre-route” routing architecture in a network ACD (FIG. 1). The ADR feature is administered in the network (100) for individual ACD systems and individual call types at each ACD system to identify another ACD system as an alternative destination for calls of the individual call type rejected by the individual ACD system. The network distributes (302) calls to the plurality of ACD systems (110-112) on a basis (e.g., fixed percentage, round-robin) that does not require the network to know the status of the individual ACD systems. Upon having a call of an individual type routed thereto, an individual ACD system checks (304) the status of the ACD system that is administered as the alternative destination for its rejected calls of the individual type. If it determines that it can provide the better service, the individual ACD system services (314) the call. If it determines that the alternative destination ACD system can provide the better service, the individual ACD system rejects (308) the call, whereupon the network, operating under influence of the ADR feature, releases (310) the connection of the call to the individual ACD system and reroutes (312) the call to the alternative destination ACD system.

摘要： Operations in a cellular system are controlled based on cost values that are generated using neighbor association. In neighbor association, each cost value corresponds to a cost of assigning a candidate channel to a first cell in the cellular system, assuming that the candidate channel is already assigned to a second cell in the cellular system and each cost value is based on an average power attenuation for all of the cells in the cellular system that share the same tier as the second cell with respect to the first cell, wherein the average power attenuation is based on the reuse distances between the first cell and the cells in the same tier. In one embodiment, the cost values are used in a cost-function-based dynamic channel assignment (DCA) algorithm that is, but does not have to be, applied to a list of candidate channels generated using a measurement-based DCA algorithm.

摘要： An interference based dynamic channel assignment scheme for a wireless communication network, for self configuring dynamic channel assignment of a plurality of channels, comprises the steps of: prioritizing a channel list and prioritizing a selected subset of the prioritized channel list. In further enhancements of the present invention, prioritizing a channel list is distributed on a per cell/sector basis so that prioritization is independent of frequency usage information from other cells/sectors and prioritization is based upon uplink and downlink characteristics.
