摘要:
A mobile station may include a standard transmit pulse-shaping filter, a standard receive pulse-shaping filter, a narrower transmit pulse-shaping filter, and a narrower receive pulse-shaping filter. A femtocell base station may include a narrower transmit pulse-shaping filter and a narrower receive pulse-shaping filter. The mobile station may utilize the narrower transmit pulse-shaping filter for transmitting uplink signals and the narrower receive pulse-shaping filter for receiving downlink signals when it is receiving service from the femtocell base station. The mobile station may utilize the standard transmit pulse-shaping filter for transmitting uplink signals and the standard receive pulse-shaping filter for receiving downlink signals when it is receiving service from a macrocell base station.

摘要:
Transmissions of beacons by a set of access points (e.g., femtocells) are synchronized to facilitate discovery of the access points by an access terminal moving through the coverage areas of the access points. In some embodiments, periodic beacon transmissions are synchronized across all of the femtocells of a set of femtocells such that each femtocell transmits a beacon signal according to a similar pattern and at the same time. In some embodiments, an opportunistic beacon control scheme involves commencing beacon transmissions by at least one femtocell of a set of femtocells upon determining that an access terminal has communicated with one or more of the femtocells.
摘要:
A femtocell base station includes a transmitter that transmits downlink signals to a mobile station, a receiver that receives uplink signals from the mobile station, a standard transmit pulse-shaping filter, and a narrower transmit pulse-shaping filter that limits the bandwidth of the downlink signals to a greater extent than the standard transmit pulse-shaping filter. The femtocell base station also includes a standard receive pulse-shaping filter and a narrower receive pulse-shaping filter. The femtocell base station is configured to switch between the standard transmit pulse-shaping filter and the narrower transmit pulse-shaping filter, and to switch between the standard receive pulse-shaping filter and the narrower receive pulse-shaping filter. A mobile station may switch from a standard transmit pulse-shaping filter to a narrower transmit pulse-shaping filter to limit uplink interference. A mobile station may switch from a narrower transmit pulse-shaping filter to a standard transmit pulse-shaping filter to achieve a higher data rate.
摘要:
Interference that occurs during wireless communication may be managed by determination and application of an adaptive path loss adjustment. A method, apparatus and medium of communication determine a level of excess received interference based at least in part on out-of-cell interference (Ioc). The path loss is adjusted by an additional path loss on an uplink signal when the level of excess received interference exceeds an interference target that would cause a Rise-over-Thermal (RoT) metric to exceed stable communication.
摘要:
A method for reducing interference to wireless communication devices is disclosed. A proximity of a wireless communication device to a base station is determined. The proximity of the wireless communication device is compared with a proximity threshold and based on the comparison, access to a femtocell may be granted to a restricted/non-CSG (closed subscriber group) wireless communication device. The method also includes causing a registration response to be sent to the wireless communication device based on the comparison.
摘要:
Coordinating transmission power for small-coverage base stations deployed in a wireless communication network may comprise, for example, receiving a plurality of measurement reports corresponding to two or more base stations, determining a coordinated coverage condition for the base stations, and setting a transmission power for at least one of the base stations based on the measurement reports and the coverage condition.

摘要:
A power calibration scheme adjusts power levels of network of femtocells based on macro signals seen at different points in and around a coverage area and based on the mutual positions of the femtocells (e.g., based on femtocell signals seen at these points). The power calibration scheme thus facilitates a good balance between providing a desired level of coverage and mitigation of interference to nearby macrocells and femtocells.
