A method and apparatus of signaling radio resource allocation in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises: dividing the radio resource into units of a first type of assignment and of a second type; using the first type of assignment units for the first type of assignment; using the second type of assignment units for the second type of assignment; multiplexing the first type and the second type of assignments in the same frame; indicating the assignment for each of a plurality of mobile stations by a base station; determining the multiplexing mode by the base station; and communicating the multiplexing mode to each of the plurality of mobile stations by the base station.

摘要:
Techniques are provided to assign radio resources with one of two or more types of assignments on a frame-by-frame basis. The first type of assignment uses subcarriers that are contiguous in both time and frequency, and the second type of assignment uses subcarriers that are disjoint and equally-spaced in frequency. The types of resource assignments can be multiplexed in a frame by dividing the frame into two zones, each zone of a different type. The demarcation between the first and second zones is implicitly indicated by the assignment messages for the mobile stations. Based on the loading conditions, the base station selects one of two demarcation strategies to use and communicates the selection implicitly by using one assignment message for a mobile station.

A method and apparatus of signaling radio resource allocation in a wireless communication system includes transmitting at least one region boundary to a mobile station indicating a division of the time-frequency resources into at least two regions, determining a time-frequency resource assignment for the mobile station, transmitting an indication of the determined time-frequency resource to the mobile station in the same region as the determined time-frequency resource, and transmitting a packet to the mobile station using the physical time-frequency resources corresponding to the determined time-frequency resource.
摘要:
A system providing flexible cyclic prefix length in a preamble (i.e., superframe preamble) is disclosed. The preamble comprises a first section and a second section. The first section contains at least one broadcast channel and occupies the first number of OFDM symbols in the preamble. The second section contains acquisition pilots and occupies the remaining number of OFDM symbols in the preamble. A first cyclic prefix length is used in the first section. It is indicated by the first broadcast channel and is unknown to a mobile station before the mobile station decodes the first broadcast channel. The second cyclic prefix length is used in the second section. It is fixed and known to the mobile stations. The first broadcast channel is located at the last OFDM symbol in the first section and is next to the second section in time.

A system and method for relay node flow control and/or congestion control in a wireless communications system are provided. A method for relay operation includes determining a buffer status of a buffer for data to be transmitted on a communications channel allocated from network resources controlled by a communications controller, computing buffer status information based on the buffer status, and transmitting the buffer status information to the communications controller.
摘要:
In the system acquisition process system information is non-coherently detected using correlation of reconstructed and received preamble signals, such as the primary broadcast control channel (PBCCH) and the acquisition pilots (TDM1, TDM2, and TDM3). The phase correlation signals between the correlated signals of PBCCH and TDM2 or TDM3 and between the correlated signals of TDM2 and TDM3 are combined to decode other sector interference (OSI) information and the like. Acquisition is also made more efficient by taking advantage of predictable information based on system synchronicity. The sync/async bit is included in at least one of the acquisition pilots. The mobile then uses knowledge of system synchronicity to more efficiently detect the additional information in the superframe preamble.
