    摘要: A rate control system is provided for a link between a first node, such as an RNC and a second node, such as a Node B, within a wireless communications system where at least one user is provided a rate over the link as a function of link load. For example, the rate control system sets at least one user to a reduced rate on the link as a function of the rates of a plurality of users on the link. In certain embodiments, the rate control system controls the rate by selecting the size of a transport format block used to transport data for a user over the link during a transmission interval. The size of the transport format block can be selected by changing the number of transport blocks used to form the transport format block as a function of the total user data to be transported over the link at that time. The rate of data offered to the link can be controlled by the way user data is mapped into the transport format blocks used to send user data over the link. In a current UMTS systems, as long as the data present in a particular RLC buffer exceeds the size of the largest TFB, the largest TFB is used to pass the data to the next layer. With the rate control system, the size of the TFB for a particular user is determined based on the current status of all the RLC buffers that have data to transmit. If there is more data than the Iub link can carry at that point in time, then smaller TFBs are used for some of the users such that the aggregate traffic offered remains below the sustainable rate.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for communicating short messages from a first device, e.g., a femto cell device or peer to peer device, over communications resources which are being used by an OFDM macro network, e.g., cellular network, are described. The signal goes on top of, e.g., is transmitted on the same communications resource(s), on which a macro signal, e.g. a downlink signal from a cellular base station, is transmitted. Since the signals are transmitted on the same resources as the signals from the macro base station, they interfere with the macro signal. However, the signals transmitted by the femto cell devices and/or peer to peer devices are designed so that they cause little interference to the macro base station in terms of overall throughput and/or with the macro base station's ability to communicate control and/or pilot information.

    摘要: Providing for management of wireless communications in a heterogeneous wireless access point (AP) environment is described herein. By way of example, system data of an over-the-air message can be configured to include information identifying a distinct type of transmitting base station. In some aspects, the information can include an access type of the base station and/or a sector ID for distinguishing the base station among large numbers of other base stations. According to other aspects, the information can include wireless channel resources designated for a particular type of base station, or blanked by the transmitting base station, to facilitate interference reduction on such resources. By employing aspects of wireless communication management disclosed herein, efficient and reliable communication can be affected in large heterogeneous AP networks.

    摘要: Techniques for transmitting data with short-term interference mitigation in a wireless communication system are described. In one design, a serving base station may send a message to a terminal to trigger short-term interference mitigation. In response, the terminal may send a message to request at least one interfering base station to reduce interference on at least one resource. Each interfering base station may determine a transmit power level to be used for the at least one resource and may send a pilot at this transmit power level. The terminal may estimate the channel quality of the at least one resource based on at least one pilot received from the at least one interfering base station. The terminal may send information indicative of the estimated channel quality to the serving base station. The serving base station may send a data transmission on the at least one resource to the terminal.

    摘要: Techniques for bundling and ciphering data prior to transmission are described. In an exemplary design, a transmitting entity receives a plurality of service data units (SDUs) from an upper layer, assigns sequential sequence numbers to the SDUs, and bundles the SDUs into a single protocol data unit (PDU). In one design, the transmitting entity generates a single count value based on a sequence number of a designated SDU (e.g., the first SDU) in the PDU and ciphers all SDUs based on the single count value. In another design, the transmitting entity ciphers each segment of at least two SDUs in the PDU based on a count value for that segment. The transmitting entity generates a header with at least one sequence number and possibly length and/or other information for the SDUs. The transmitting entity forms the PDU with the header and the SDUs and passes the PDU to a lower layer.

    摘要: Aspects describe conveying unicast information and broadcast information in a resource set for a transmission request. The unicast information and broadcast information can be transmitted at substantially the same time. Power control can be applied separately to the unicast information and the broadcast information for reliable decoding. A null request can be indicated by “00” bits in a unicast portion and a zero power level in the broadcast portion.
