摘要:
The disclosure is directed to an access point in a wireless access network and methods for using an access point. The access point includes a transceiver function and a network function. The network function is configured to route packets between a packet-based network and the transceiver function. The transceiver function is configured to support a wireless connection with an access terminal, and provide protocol translation between the packets and physical frames transported over the wireless connection.

Described herein are mechanisms and methods that facilitate seamless handoff of an access terminal between access points (transceiver modules). A first transceiver module can be providing forward link data services to an access terminal when it requests a handoff to a second transceiver module. In response, the first transceiver module can provide data that is desirably transmitted to the access terminal to the second transceiver module. A network module can inform a plurality of transceiver modules that the second transceiver module is servicing the access terminal, and can further provide data to the second transceiver module for transmittal to the access terminal.

Described herein are mechanisms and methods that facilitate generation of receiver status message (e.g., acknowledgments and/or negative acknowledgments) before, during, and after a handoff of an access terminal (user equipment) from a first transceiver module to a second transceiver module. A network module can generate receiver status messages during a handoff and informs a target transceiver module of when it can begin to generate receiver status messages for data received from an access terminal.

Methods and apparatus for communicating packets of information from an access terminal to a remote access node assembly by way of a serving access node assembly are described. An inter-route tunneling protocol module which interfaces with a radio link protocol module is used to tunnel route protocol packets. A first radio link protocol stream is associated with an application resident on the access terminal. A second radio link protocol stream is associated with an inter-route tunneling protocol module. Information to be communicated to a remote access node assembly by way of a serving access node assembly is subjected to two different radio link protocol processing operations. A first one of the RLP processing operations corresponds to the remote access node assembly while the second RLP processing operation corresponds to the serving access node assembly.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate packet routing among relay eNBs in a wireless network. Packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer communications from a user equipment (UE) can terminate at a donor evolved Node B (eNB) and vice versa. In this regard, a relay application protocol (RAPP) layer is defined to transport application layer control data among relay eNBs to facilitate appropriate routing. RAPP layer messages can be similar to control messages at other application layers, such as S1-AP, X2, etc., while additionally including a relay UE identifier for routing the messages among relay eNBs. In addition, RAPP layer messages can exclude other parameters normally defined in other application layers to protect security and encryption/decryption details.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for negotiating and managing one or more personalities in a wireless communications system. The method comprises advertising one or more supported initial protocol set identifiers. Furthermore, the method comprises selecting a starting initial protocol set identifier from the advertised initial protocol set identifiers. In addition, the method comprises establishing a session based on the selected starting initial protocol set identifier. The method also comprises establishing a connection between an access terminal and an access network based on the selected initial protocol set identifier.

Aspects describe indicating to a mobile station whether an access point supports local Internet Protocol (IP) access. The indication can be sent through utilization of common signaling, which allows the mobile station to have information about the local IP access availability before connecting to the access point. The indication can be sent through utilization of dedicated signaling, which allows the mobile station to find out about availability of local IP access after the mobile station connects to the access point.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate packet routing among relay eNBs in a wireless network. Packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer communications from a user equipment (UE) can terminate at a donor evolved Node B (eNB) and vice versa. In this regard, relay eNBs can forward PDCP layer communications over a routing protocol without locally processing the layer. The relay eNBs can, however, retrieve one or more parameters from a header of the PDCP layer for feedback to the donor eNB to assist in flow control, sequence number status transfer, and/or the like. In addition, routing identifier can be utilized to determine relay eNBs for receiving the packets. The routing identifier can additionally include an identifier of a radio bearer of the relay eNB communicating with the UE over which the PDCP layer communications are to be transmitted.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate communicating inter-eNB packets among eNBs in a cluster implemented by a donor eNB. A relay eNB can report an address received from a gateway upstream to one or more eNBs. The one or more eNBs can store the address along with one or more parameters for communicating with the relay eNB. In this regard, disparate eNBs can communicate with the relay eNB by specifying the address in an inter-eNB packet, and upstream eNBs can route the inter-eNB packet to the relay eNB based at least in part on locating the address in a routing table. In this regard, the inter-eNB packets need not pass through the gateway to reach the relay eNB.
