摘要:
A method and apparatus for reducing signal interference within a cellular radio system to increase both coverage and capacity. The method and apparatus include altering the direction of beams within cell sectors is among discrete angular positions according to a predetermined, cyclic pattern. The predetermined, cyclic pattern varies in a group of adjacent cell sectors such that inter-cell interference is significantly reduced or eliminated by rotating at a different cycle the beams in adjacent cells. This discrete, angular movement of beams provides for downlink transmissions to be timed in such a way (i.e., scheduled) such that transmission to a user will occur in accordance with the beam and time slot having the best carrier to interference (C/I) ratio for that user.

A packet routing apparatus and method are provided. The packet routing apparatus may participate in a sensor network. In certain aspects the packet routing apparatus may snatch a request to send (RTS) signal that is transmitted from a first node to a second node in the sensor network and may intervene on the relay path of the snatched data packet. In certain aspects, the packet routing apparatus may sniff a data packet that is transmitted from a first node to a second node and may intervene on the relay path of the sniffed data packet.

A method and apparatus are provided for selecting an optimum base station for communicating with a terminal in a wireless communication system. A base station controller stores two candidate sets for each terminal within communication range of the base stations controlled by the base station controller. One candidate set lists base stations for which the channel quality of the uplink channel between the base station and the terminal is acceptable for communication. The other candidate set lists base stations for which the channel quality of the downlink channel between is acceptable for communication. This allows the base station controller to take into account the predominant direction of traffic when assigning base stations for communication with the terminal.

An apparatus for storing handover information in a mobile communication system is provided. The apparatus includes an estimation unit configured to estimate a direction of arrival (DOA) of a received signal with respect to a first base station based on the received signal, the received signal being received from a terminal belonging to the first base station, and a storage unit to store the estimated DOA as handover information associated with a second base station when the terminal is handed over to the second base station.

The present invention provides cyclic power changing patterns for transmissions in different sectors of a cellular system. The cyclic power changing patterns define unique patterns in which transmission power levels change over a period of time slots or within a group of sub-carriers. Each sector has a unique pattern, so that interference information monitored by the user elements, which are supported by base stations, are indicative of the interference contributions from adjacent sectors. Based on these interference contributions and the cyclic power changing patterns associated with these sectors, the base stations can schedule transmissions to the user elements during time slots or in sub-carriers to minimize the impact of interference from the adjacent sectors and to efficiently support dynamic needs of the individual user data packets according to QoS requirements.

A method and apparatus are provided for error correction in a communication system employing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing. When a remote unit receives an OFDM symbol, a retransmission indicator bit is examined to determine whether the symbol is an original symbol or a retransmitted symbol. If it is a retransmitted symbol and the remote unit has a corresponding symbol stored in memory, then the received symbol is soft-combined with the stored symbol. Each packet in the symbol, either the received symbol if original or the soft-combined symbol if retransmitted, is examined by the remote unit. If the remote unit determines that a particular packet is intended for the remote unit, but can not determine the contents of the payload of the packet, the remote unit sends a retransmission request to the base station for retransmission of the symbol. The base station determines whether the entire symbol or merely the packet should be retransmitted, based on such considerations as the size of the packet or whether there are additional requests for the symbol. The invention allows both soft-symbol combining and Automatic Repeat Request to be used as error correction techniques.
