Disclosed herein is a method and system for WiMAX ranging using OVSF ranging codes. Specifically, in an exemplary embodiment, a WiMAX communication system that is configured to provide service at a plurality of quality of service (QoS) levels, may be configured to (a) broadcast a QoS level message in a downlink sub-frame, wherein the QoS level message comprises one or more spreading factor codes, and wherein each spreading factor code indicates a spreading factor for a particular QoS level, (b) receive a ranging request from a device, wherein the ranging request comprises an orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) code, wherein the OVSF code was selected according to the one or more spreading factor codes, (c) determine a spreading factor of the OVSF code in the received ranging request, and (d) use the spreading factor as a basis for selecting a QoS level at which to provide service to the device.

In an exemplary embodiment, a communication system is configured to engage in a plurality of ranging processes, and a pool of ranging codes is available to client devices for requesting the ranging processes. The pool is divided into groups of ranging codes, and each group includes ranging codes allocated for requesting a particular ranging process. The system comprises (a) a receiver that is configured to receive a plurality of requests from one or more client devices, wherein each request comprises a ranging code that is allocated for requesting a particular ranging process and (b) program code stored in data storage and executable by a processor to (i) use the ranging codes from the requests to determine a quantity of requests received, respectively, for each ranging process and (ii) based on the determined quantity of received requests for at least one ranging process, adjust the allocation of the ranging codes.

A method and computer-readable medium for dynamic rate capping of data transmissions of a subscriber are provided. According to the method, configuration parameters for dynamic rate capping are defined. A plurality of subscriber parameters are obtained, and a plurality of network parameters are measured. A rate boost factor is calculated based on a backhaul rate boost factor and a sector rate boost factor. A transmission rate cap for subscriber data transmissions is calculated based on backhaul and sector parameters, such as backhaul and sector rate boost factors. The rate of subscriber data transmissions is dynamically controlled based on the transmission rate cap.

Disclosed herein is a method and system for power management in a subscriber station. The method involves (a) during a communication session between a subscriber station and an access network, determining a packet inter-arrival time for data received from the access network; (b) determining whether the packet inter-arrival time indicates that the communication session is in a high-activity state or, in the alternative, indicates that the communication session is in a low-activity state; (c) if the packet inter-arrival time indicates that the communication session is in the low-activity state, then selecting a first power-saving mode for use by the subscriber station; and (d) if the packet inter-arrival time indicates that the communication session is in the high.

Disclosed herein is a method and system for transmitting coding descriptor information that can be implemented in a WiMAX communication network. The method comprises (a) dividing the coding descriptor information into a first set and a second set of coding descriptor information, wherein the first set comprises coding descriptor information that is used in initial ranging; (b) determining a repetition frequency at which to periodically transmit the first set of coding descriptor information; (c) periodically transmitting the first set of coding descriptor information at the determined repetition frequency; (d) detecting a triggering event, wherein the triggering event comprises receipt of a message from an access terminal; and (e) in response to detecting the triggering event, transmitting the second set of coding descriptor information.

Methods and systems for performing hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) in conjunction with broadcast/multicast channels are presented. In particular, an access node may transmit a series of hybrid ARQ subpackets to one or more client nodes using a broadcast/multicast channel. Each of the subpackets may be derived from the same full packet. Upon receiving a subpacket, a client node may attempt to decode the full packet from the subpacket(s) derived from the full packet. If the client node fails to do so, the client node may transmit a negative acknowledgement to the access node. If the access node receives more than a threshold extent of negative acknowledgements, the access node may transmit a subsequent subpacket in the series on the broadcast/multicast channel.

Systems and methods of uplink bandwidth allocation for a handoff are provided. A mobile station can transmit a handoff request message to a serving base station. The mobile station and the target base station can exchange synchronization messages and the mobile station can then subsequently receive an unsolicited allocation of a number of uplink sub-channels from the base station.

Methods and systems for assigning time-division multiplexed (TDM) slots in a multi-channel TDM system are presented. Preferably, a radio access network (RAN) assigns forward link and reverse link transmissions between the RAN and one or more wireless communication devices (WCDs) to TDM slots on various wireless channels. When making these assignments, the RAN may take into account (i) the priority of data that the RAN queues for the WCDs, and (ii) the signal quality at which the WCDs can receive the various wireless channels.
