摘要:
A transmitter directed, distributed receiver using multi-user diversity provided by the distribution of the receiver. Advantage is taken of the uncorrelated variations over time in the condition of communication links between a common transmitter and several users. The greater the variation in the quality of a particular link over time, the greater the increase in total system throughput provided. A scheduler metric (or scheduler metric) represents the instantaneous quality of the communication link between each user and the transmitter with respect to the average quality of the link. Alternatively, the scheduler metric represents the instantaneous channel condition with respect to the average data throughput over that channel. The common transmitting station uses the scheduler metric to directly compare the desirability of granting each channel access with the desirability of granting each other channel access. The users with links that have the greatest scheduler metric are provided access to the channels.

A method and an apparatus for scaling demodulated data symbols contained in a packet to generate scaled log-likelihood ratios for Turbo decoding are disclosed. A packet consists of one or more subpackets depending on the type of packet. Each subpacket is identified by a subpacket identification number. The payload size of the packet and the subpacket identification number may be determined by decoding a reverse rate indicator (RRI) channel. A scale factor which is associated with a specific subpacket identification number and a specific payload size results in a performance measure that is closest to an expected performance measure. The scale factor is used for scaling the demodulated data symbols to generate scaled log-likelihood ratios for Turbo decoding.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to methods and systems for providing adaptive server selection in wireless communications. An access terminal may be configured to determine a forward link quality metric associated with each of a plurality of sectors serviced by a plurality of access points; assign credits to each sector in relation to the forward link quality metric; and change a data source control (DSC) value if the credits accumulated for a non-serving sector at a DSC change boundary is greater than a predetermined threshold, where the non-serving sector and the serving sector for the access terminal belong to different cells. The access terminal may be further configured to change a data rate control (DRC) cover in accordance with the DSC change. The use of DSC may provide an early indication of handoff, thereby allowing the service outage associated with server switching to be substantially reduced.

Embodiments disclosed here relate to scheduling packet transmission in a multi-carrier communication system. In an embodiment, a master scheduler having at least one processor and at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor is adapted to execute instructions stored in the at least one memory, the instructions comprising selecting a packet with a highest packet metric from among candidate packets from one carrier of a plurality of carriers, whereby expedited forwarding flows do not have a higher metric on another carrier.

In one embodiment, the invention comprises a channel estimation method, comprising determining a FFT window position, and calculating a delay spread. In another embodiment, the step of determining a FE window position comprises setting an initial position of the FFT window, computing an energy for each tap, time averaging said energy for each tap, comparing an average energy of each tap with a first threshold multiplied by the average energy of all taps, comparing the average energy of each tap with a second threshold multiplied by a maximum average energy in alias components, updating the set of paths if the average energy of the tap is greater than said second threshold multiplied by the maximum average energy in alias components; and refining the FFT window position.

A method and system for de-coupling forward and reverse link assignment for multi-carrier wireless communication systems. A method may assign two or more forward link code division multiple access (CDMA) carriers to transmit data from a base station to an access terminal; assign one or more reverse link CDMA carriers to transmit data from the access terminal to the base station; and limit reverse link overhead transmissions corresponding to the two or more forward link CDMA carriers.

Systems and methods for optimizing the allocation of resources to serve different types of data flows in a wireless communication system are disclosed. An exemplary method involves calculating data metrics for data in a plurality of queues. Each queue corresponds to a different data flow in the wireless communication system. The data metrics are used to determine a separate transmission metric for each of a plurality of possible transmission formats. The transmission metric for a given transmission format is dependent on the data metrics corresponding to allocated data for the given transmission format. A transmission format is selected that has an optimum transmission metric. The allocated data for the selected transmission format is transmitted on the forward link in accordance with the selected transmission format.
摘要:
Adaptive delay management means and method for allocating resources having different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. A Forward Link (FL) scheduler prepares transmission instances by treating pending data queues according to a priority class, such as Best Effort (BE) and Expedited Forwarding (EF). Data bits from multiple queues are stuffed into a transmission instance. Various metrics are used to generate a set of candidates for transmission and then select and build a next transmission instance from the set of candidates.

In a multi-carrier access terminal having a transmitter with a single power amplifier, maximum transmission power available for a multi-carrier signal transmitted by the terminal is apportioned among a plurality of carriers on a priority basis. Following apportionment, the carriers are combined into a multi-carrier signal, amplified by the power amplifier and transmitted.

Techniques for supporting peer-to-peer (P2P) communication in a wide area network (WAN) are disclosed. In an aspect, interference coordination between P2P devices engaged in P2P communication and WAN devices engaged in WAN communication may be performed based on a network-controlled architecture. For the network-controlled architecture, P2P devices may detect other P2P devices and/or WAN devices and may send measurements (e.g., for pathloss, interference, etc.) for the detected devices to the WAN (e.g., serving base stations). The WAN may perform resource partitioning and/or association for the P2P devices based on the measurements. Association may include selection of P2P communication or WAN communication for a given P2P device. Resource partitioning may include allocation of resources to a group of P2P devices for P2P communication. The WAN may send the results of association and/or resource partitioning to the P2P devices, which may communicate in accordance with the association and/or resource partitioning results.
