摘要:
A method of assembling a frame in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based communication system, wherein data packets to be transmitted from a broadcast station to a receiver are given a rectangular shape in terms of the two dimensions—time and frequency—of the OFDMA frame, and wherein the data packets are successively fitted into the OFDMA frame by way of a frame assembly scheduler, is characterized in that the filling process of the OFDMA frame is based on an ordered list of data structures that represent the current empty space within the OFDMA frame. Furthermore, a corresponding communication system is disclosed.

A method for operating a wireless terminal as an access point—access point terminal (2)—that connects a set of one or more client terminals (4) to an external network, wherein a schedule of absence periods is established during which the connected client terminals (4) are not allowed to transmit data to the access point terminal (2), wherein the absence periods together with corresponding presence periods are scheduled at regular intervals and have certain durations, is characterized in that an adaptation of the absence/presence periods' duration and/or interval parameters is executed on the basis of the bandwidth available in the external network and the amount of traffic transmitted between the access point terminal (2) and the connected client terminals (4). Furthermore, a corresponding wireless terminal is disclosed.
摘要:
In order to allow an efficient use of data or frame aggregation techniques with real-time communications a method for operating a wireless network, especially a Wi-Fi technology based network, is described, wherein the network includes at least one wireless device for transmission of data and wherein the device may use a data or frame aggregation technique to provide an adjustable amount of aggregation. The method is characterized in that the amount of aggregation provided by the aggregation technique will be adjusted depending on a level of congestion in the network. Further, an according wireless network is described, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method.

A method for filling a WiMAX downlink frame by the base station of a WiMAX network, wherein the downlink MAC Protocol Data Units (MPDUs) are fitted into the WiMAX downlink frame by means of a DL-MAP scheduler, which allows the concatenation of downlink MPDUs from different connections in single bursts, the bursts having a rectangular shape in terms of the two dimensions—OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) symbols and subchannels—of a WiMAX downlink frame, is characterized in that the DL-MAP scheduler is configured in a way that it considers the concatenation of downlink MPDUs from different connections in single bursts based on the available and/or the remaining free space in the WiMAX downlink frame, such that it simplifies the DL-MAP scheduler task of filling the WiMAX downlink frame minimizing the amount of wasted radio resources.

A method of scheduling periodic processes for execution in an electronic system, in particular in a network, in a data processor or in a communication device, wherein the electronic system includes a controller for performing the scheduling, wherein a number of N processes Pi are already scheduled with each process Pi having an individual service interval Sli, and wherein an additional process PN+1 is to be scheduled with a service interval SIN+1, is characterized in that the additional process PN+1 is scheduled in such a way that the minimum time lag between the execution times of the additional process PN+1 and the execution times of the number of N already scheduled processes Pi is maximized. Furthermore, a corresponding device for scheduling periodic processes for execution in an electronic system is disclosed.
摘要:
Method for operating a wireless network, wherein at least one MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) group of different stations will be constructed by a grouping algorithm based on a grouping metric for providing a MIMO group of different stations addressable simultaneously in space by a base station using MIMO techniques and meeting a definable level of performance quality, the grouping metric being based on an SINR (Signal-to-Interference and Noise Ratio) experienced by each station within the MIMO group. The method includes: computing an SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) that a new station would experience without any interference when added to an existing MIMO group; computing an SINR estimate by correcting the SNR with the sum of spatial correlations between the new and each of the stations already present in the existing MIMO group; and using the SINR estimate for deciding whether the new station can be added to the existing MIMO group.
