摘要： Users in a wireless communication system are provisioned into QoS-based classes and rate controlled using a single, per-sector common rate control (CRC) sub-channel. In one or more embodiments, different mobile stations are configured to respond differently to the same CRC commands by provisioning them with different Traffic-to-Pilot Ratio (TPR) tables and/or with different TPR step size adjustment tables. That is, the network can define different classes or groups of mobile stations by sending class or group-specific TPR-related values to the mobile stations belonging to a specific class or group. With this method, the mobile stations in one group can achieve different reverse link data rates, or make more aggressive data rate changes, than those in another group, even though both groups receive the same rate control commands.

摘要： A radio base station performs reverse link rate control in a wireless communication network by “stealing” bits on a forward common power control channel. The forward common power control channel is divided into a plurality of frames, with each frame including a plurality of power control groups and each power control group including a plurality of power control slots. The radio base station may dynamically select power control slots depending on user demand to be used for reverse link rate control.

摘要： A base station generates per-cell ACK/NACK responses rather than per-sector ACK/NACK responses. For a given mobile station signal received in softer handoff at two of the base station's sectors, the base station generates an ACK response if at least one of the soft handoff sectors correctly receives the signal, and otherwise generates a NACK response. Alternatively, the base station can combine the softer handoff signals and generate ACK/NACK responses based on whether the combined signal is correctly received. Since only one set of ACK/NACK responses are generated for all of the softer handoff sectors, the base station can use the forward link in just one softer handoff sector to send the ACK/NACK responses to the mobile station, consuming fewer forward link transmit resources at the base station. Or, the base station can send the same ACK/NACK responses from two or more softer handoff sectors, thus allowing diversity combining of the ACK/NACK responses at the mobile station.

摘要： A method and apparatus provide for setting the initial transmit power of secondary reverse link carriers used by mobile stations in conjunction with primary reverse link carriers. In one or more embodiments, a mobile station sets the initial transmit power of a secondary reverse link carrier relative to the transmit power of the primary reverse link carrier as a function of initialization transmit power information transmitted to the mobile station, which directly or indirectly considers reverse link loading information. Additional considerations may include differences in active sets associated with the primary and secondary reverse link carriers and/or sector switching activity of the mobile station.

摘要： A method of allocating forward link transmit power with respect to a mobile station that actively is associated with a serving sector and one or more non-serving sectors of a wireless communication network comprises receiving channel quality information at the non-serving sectors as reported by the mobile station for the serving sector, and allocating forward link transmit power for the mobile station at the non-serving sectors as a function of the reported channel quality information. Non-serving sectors may assume that the reported channel quality information establishes the lower power allocation bound for the mobile station on the assumption that each of them has less favorable radio conditions than the serving sector with respect to the mobile station. Thus, base station transceivers operating as non-serving transmitters with respect to a given mobile terminal may nonetheless determine forward link transmit power allocations for the mobile station using serving sector channel quality information.

摘要： A wireless communication network receives packet data transmissions from a mobile station, tracks the occurrence of retransmission requests sent to the mobile station responsive thereto, and modifies the radio link assignments for the mobile station based at least in part on said tracking. For example, a base station controller may be configured to manage the active set of a mobile station based on the number and/or frequency of NACK messages sent by the radio base stations in the mobile station's active set(s) responsive to packet data transmissions from the mobile station. The ACK/NACK response of a radio base station to mobile station transmissions may be used to detect link imbalance, identify poor reverse link channels, etc. The base station controller can add or change radio links based on the ACK/NACK response to improve reverse link performance, trigger voice call handoff, correct link imbalance, etc.

摘要： A communication transceiver transmits a power-controlled first signal responsive to received power control commands and transmits one or more additional signals at variable power gains relative to the transmit power of the first signal based on reception quality feedback received for the additional signals. Thus, a mobile station may transmit a traffic channel at a variable power gain relative to its pilot signal power and vary that gain responsive to reception quality feedback received by it for the traffic signal. Of course, the mobile station may float more than one traffic channel using variable gains and may use different variable gains for each one. Further, the mobile station may float one or more non-pilot channels relative to the pilot or relative to another channel, while transmitting one or more fixed gain channels. Similar variable power gain may be employed at network base stations for forward link signals.

摘要： A wireless communication network improves reverse link communication performance by changing one or more Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) control settings as a function of measured or estimated reverse link loading. Control settings can be changed on a per-sector basis, allowing consideration of different loading conditions in different radio sectors of the network. Further, control settings can be changed for individual mobile stations, or selected groups of mobile stations, allowing different ARQ controls to be used for different mobile stations. By way of non-limiting example, a control circuit in a base station controller can be configured to take advantage of light reverse link loading conditions in a given radio sector by changing the ARQ control parameter(s) used for one or more mobile stations operating in that sector so that fewer ARQ retransmissions are required for those mobile stations to transmit reverse link data to the network.

摘要： A distributed transmit diversity system based on OFDM signaling transmits a broadcast/multicast service signal from one or more first base stations and from one or more second base stations, wherein the first and second base stations transmit orthogonalized pilots. Correspondingly, a remote receiver, e.g., a mobile station, resolves the orthogonal pilots and makes independent channel estimates relative to the first and second base stations for improved diversity reception. Pilots are orthogonalized between the first and second base stations by using orthogonal space-time or space-frequency block coding. For example, in one embodiment, a first pilot tone pair is interleaved with data tones in the OFDM data blocks being transmitted from the first base stations, while an orthogonal second pilot tone pair is interleaved with data tones in the same OFDM data blocks being synchronously transmitted from the second base stations.
