Certain embodiments provide techniques and apparatus that may allow for improvements in performance and power consumption in sleep and idle mode through fast DL and UL synchronization for wireless communications systems, such as Mobile WiMAX Systems.
摘要:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for supporting multicast and broadcast services (MBS) with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capabilities. This can be achieved by adding specific MIMO information into existing MBS-MAP messages while providing backward compatibility.

摘要:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure propose techniques for improving automatic repeat request (ARQ) feedback messages to reduce unnecessary transmissions by notifying the transmitter of the last acknowledged block in the ARQ feedback message.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present disclosure allow a HARQ transmitter to provide a receiver an indication of the protocol data units (PDUs) that should not be expected because they are part of a data burst that has been retransmitted a maximum allowable number of times. The indication message may contain a maximum serial number contained in the data burst that has reached the maximum number of retransmissions, or the serial number of a first PDU in the next data burst.

摘要:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for processing a HARQ data burst and/or a HARQ ACK message in the event a HARQ ACK message falls within a scanning or an unavailable interval of an MS. For certain embodiments, a HARQ ACK message may be postponed if it falls within the scanning or the unavailable interval of the mobile station. For certain embodiments, the HARQ data burst transmission may be postponed if the corresponding HARQ ACK message falls within a scanning or an unavailable interval of the mobile station. For certain embodiments, the HARQ ACK may be transmitted or received even if it falls within the scanning or the unavailable interval of the mobile station. However, the HARQ ACK message may not be processed during the scanning/unavailable interval.
摘要:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure proposes a flexible method for scheduling of an uplink transmission simultaneously considering all active connections of a mobile station. A decision on scheduling priority can be made based on a metric that comprises QoS parameters and current traffic measurements. The weight factors may be applied for every QoS parameter per schedule type providing flexibility of the scheduling algorithm. The proposed scheduling algorithm may be applied to satisfy different QoS requirements for each service provider and application by changing weight factors if required.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for setting the connection identifier (CID) mask length of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat-Request (HARQ)-MAP or a SUB-MAP pointer information element (IE) in a compressed downlink map (DL-MAP) of an orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) frame are provided in an effort to reduce the number of false indications in the CID mask, while also striving, as a secondary concern, to reduce the CID mask length. In this manner, an individual mobile station (MS) may not waste processing, battery power, or time interpreting a HARQ-MAP message or a sub downlink/uplink map (SUB-DL-UL-MAP) message that was not intended for this particular MS. For some embodiments where the CID mask length is set to be small, the control overhead (i.e., the size of the HARQ-MAP or the SUB-MAP pointer IE) may be decreased, and more of the OFDMA frame may be available for data traffic.
