摘要： A method of wireless communication over the reverse link. The method may include evaluating a reverse link loading. This evaluation step may involve examining at least two resources associated with reverse link loading within a first time period. Thereafter, a message is broadcast containing information regarding the availability of resources. This message is generated in response to the evaluated reverse link loading. This availability of resources message may correspond with an overload condition, increasing a number of active connections, decreasing the number of active connections, increasing an available transmit rate, maintaining the available transmit rate and/or decreasing the available transmit rate. In one example, the availability of resources message comprises a reverse activity bit.

摘要： A method for extracting the optimal capacity in a cellular network reverse link involves controlling the reverse link Eb/No setpoint (or other control setting) based on the aggregate reverse link load and channel condition. The cellular network includes a plurality of mobile stations that wirelessly communicate with a base station over a reverse link, using a CDMA or similar communications protocol. The base station calculates a received signal strength indicator (“RSSI”). If the RSSI rises above a designated threshold level, the base station calculates a scaling factor. The base station then scales its reverse link Eb/No setpoint by applying the scaling factor to the Eb/No setpoint. Then, according to the new, scaled Eb/No setpoint, the base station issues closed loop power control commands to the mobile stations, thereby adjusting their transmit power according to the new, scaled Eb/No setpoint.

摘要： A method and apparatus for estimating the initial power level and transmission rate of a burst on a secondary channel when the secondary channel is on fewer legs of a handoff, such as a soft or softer handoff, than the primary channel. In accordance with the present invention, the initial power level of the burst transmitted over a current secondary channel on a particular leg(s) is a function of a power level of a previous burst transmitted over a previous secondary channel on the identical leg(s) as the current secondary channel. For example, the initial power level of the burst can be based on the power level at the end of the previous burst shortly prior to the termination of the previous burst, where the termination of the previous burst was within a predetermined time interval of the start of the burst. Optionally, the initial power level of a burst can also be additionally adjusted based on characteristics of the communication link of the primary channel, the previous secondary channel, and the current secondary channel. The transmission rate may then be adjusted based on the initial power level determined as described above to obtain a more efficient transmission rate.

摘要： In a method for determining transmission latency in a wireless network, data packets addressed to a wireless unit are received at a radio network controller (RNC) and forwarded to a base station in communication with the wireless unit for transmission over the forward link. The RNC keeps track of when it receives the packets. Periodically, the base station sends messages back to the RNC. Each message identifies a data packet and the time it was transmitted to the wireless unit. The RNC uses the messages to calculate a data transfer rate, e.g., the number of packets between the first packet received by the RNC and the packet identified in the message, divided by the time difference between the message and when the first packet was received by the RNC. The RNC then applies the transfer rate to any data remaining for the wireless unit, to determine the transmission latency thereof.

摘要： A method for optimizing the capacity of a forward link in a cellular telecommunications network involves dynamically setting the minimum gain level on the forward link for each mobile station, based each mobile station's individual performance. The cellular network has one or more base stations and a mixed population of single-diversity mobile stations and dual-diversity mobile stations. In communicating with a particular mobile station, the gain level of the transmission over the forward link is monitored at the base station. The base station also monitors the reverse link for a power measurement report message (“PMRM”) sent by the mobile station. If the gain level stays at or close to a minimum gain level for a certain time period, and if no PMRM″s are received during that time period, then the base station reduces the minimum gain level by a set amount. The reduction in the minimum gain level can be triggered based on other factors, such as the forward link frame error rate.

摘要： A method is disclosed for determining when a request for a higher transmission rate should be granted to a mobile station that currently has access to a communication system to facilitate the maintenance of a performance target (quality of service level) of the reverse link. The method for determining when a mobile station can have access to a higher transmission rate includes obtaining first and second estimated performance indicators for a reverse link of the base station that a mobile station is currently accessing. A blocking threshold value is established. Access at the requested higher transmission rate is based on a comparison of the first and second indicators relative to the established blocking threshold value. If access is denied at the requested higher rate, access will be granted at the next lower rate which will not degrade the performance of the wireless communication system.

摘要： A method of applying one of several resource distribution algorithms to an incoming call to a communication system. The applied resource distribution algorithm is based on resource parameters obtained from a main scheduler of the communication system. Some of the resource parameters include the type of call, the resource usage and the resource allocation scheme. The resource parameters generally describe the amount of resources that are currently being used by the system and which resources are available to the incoming call. The method of the present invention admits the incoming call to the communication system in accordance with one of the resource distribution allocation schemes. In this manner, the resources of the communication system can be efficiently and fairly distributed to different types of users requesting admission to the communication system.

摘要： A method for controlling access of a subscriber station to a wireless communications system facilitates the maintenance of a performance target of the reverse link and desired geographic coverage of the reverse link. The method for controlling access of a subscriber station to a wireless communications system includes measuring a first performance indicator and a second performance indicator for a reverse link associated with a subscriber station seeking access to a wireless communications system. A blocking threshold value is established based upon the measured second performance indicator and may be adjusted to allow more or less blocking based on any additional metrics that characterize the performance of the current subscriber stations. The decision to grant or deny access of the subscriber station to the wireless communications system is determined based on a comparison of the measured first performance indicator to the established blocking threshold value.
