摘要： A communication device and method for controlling reverse link transmissions. The device receives a broadcast transmission signal and determines a quality level of the broadcast transmission signal. It then communicates with the base station to establish how frequently reverse link transmissions will occur depending on the determined quality level. Alternatively, a network element can determining when a parameter crosses a threshold and transmit a message to select wireless communication devices to start gating on a reverse link when the parameter crosses the threshold.

摘要： A method and apparatus for providing adaptive bearer configuration for MBMS delivery is disclosed. A first aspect of the present disclosure is a method of operating a wireless infrastructure entity (103) wherein a common radio resource (303) is allocated for receiving a response from at least one mobile station (109). A request message, similar to a request for counting, is broadcast to all mobile stations (109) within a coverage area (105. If at least one mobile station (109) responds to the request, PTM transmission mode will be used for MBMS delivery within the given coverage area (105). If more than one mobile station (109) within the coverage area (105) responds to the request, then all the responses will be over the common radio resource (303). The total number of responses to the request message may be limited by providing a probability factor within the request message.

摘要： A method and apparatus for providing adaptive bearer configuration for MBMS delivery is disclosed. A first aspect of the present disclosure is a method of operating a wireless infrastructure entity (103) wherein a plurality of common radio resources (303) are allocated for receiving combined responses from a plurality of mobile stations (109). A request message, similar to a request for counting, is broadcast to all mobile stations (109) within a coverage area (105) and may indicate a range, for example a signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio range. Mobile stations (109) responding to the request, use specific resources (303) corresponding to respective range values. The infrastructure (103) may use the received information to determine a modulation and coding scheme for PTM broadcast. The total number of responses to the request message may be limited by providing a probability factor within the request message.

摘要： A communication system provides, via a single, serving Node B, scheduling information required by a user equipment (UE) to determine a start time for each Node B of multiple Node Bs with respect to a multicast, by each Node B of the multiple Node Bs, of soft combinable MBMS data. The UE may then use the scheduling information to synchronize a soft combining of the MBMS data received by the UE via each of the multiple Node Bs, even when the multicasts via the multiple Node Bs are not synchronized. However, while the multicasts of frames of data associated with an MBMS service by different Node Bs need not be synchronized, synchronized multicasts are preferable for soft combining. Therefore, the communication system further provides for a synchronization by a network controller of the multicasts of the soft combinable MBMS data by the multiple Node Bs.
