Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate transitioning between states associated with a wireless terminal. The wireless terminal may transition to and/or from a split-tone on state, which may enable increasing overall user capacity related to a base station or sector. Further, such state transitions may reduce power consumption associated with the wireless terminal.

A base station uses a common link layer controller for multiple physical attachment points to facilitate concurrent wireless connections between different sector physical attachment points and a wireless terminal using the same link layer link. A wireless terminal maintains multiple simultaneous wireless connections for the same link layer link. A packet of user data is fragmented into a plurality of grouping of MAC frames, thus a packet portion can be communicated over a connection. A single packet is sometimes communicated with different portions conveyed over different wireless connections. Automatic repeat request, using the common link layer controller, allows for retransmission of a packet portion over a different connection than it was initially transmitted over. A wireless terminal sends connection request messages including lists of link layer identifiers associated with the wireless terminal. A base station responds with an indication of whether logical link state was already present.

A terminal is assigned an active identifier for use while in an active state of a connection with a base station. The base station periodically broadcasts the status of the active identifiers for that base station, e.g., via status validation bits that indicate whether each active identifier is currently assigned to a terminal or not assigned to any terminal. The base station may also broadcast the identity (e.g., a scrambling mask) of the terminal assigned with each active identifier that is currently in use. If a terminal believes that it is assigned a particular active identifier, then the terminal checks the status validation bit for this active identifier. If this status validation bit indicates that the active identifier is currently in use, then the terminal may further check the scrambling mask sent for the active identifier in order to determine whether the terminal is actually assigned the active identifier.

Techniques for efficiently sending reports in a wireless communication system are described. Reports may be sent repetitively in accordance with a reporting format. A terminal receives an assignment of a control channel used to send reports and determines a reporting format to use based on the assignment. The reporting format indicates a specific sequence of reports sent in specific locations of a control channel frame. The terminal generates a set of reports for each reporting interval and arranges the set of reports in accordance with the reporting format. The terminal repetitively sends a plurality of sets of reports in a plurality of reporting intervals. Reports may also be sent adaptively based on operating conditions. An appropriate reporting format may be selected based on the operating conditions of the terminal, which may be characterized by environment (e.g., mobility), capabilities, QoS, and/or other factors.

An access node, e.g., base station, determines a configuration of an end node, e.g., wireless terminal, intended to support a specific traffic flow and sends a configuration command to the wireless terminal. A base station may determine one or more parameters associated with classification, queue management, scheduling, and/or automatic repeat request, and then send a configuration command to the wireless terminal instructing it to implement a configuration operation. In some embodiments, a wireless terminal sets the value of an internal parameter to a value directly provided by the base station in a configuration command. In some embodiments, a wireless terminal determines and sets the value of an internal parameter as a function of information included in the configuration command from the base station.

摘要:
User specific modulation-symbol scrambling is implemented for various uplink segments, e.g., uplink traffic acknowledgement channel (ULTACH), uplink state request channel (ULSRCH), and uplink dedicated control channel (ULDCCH) segments. A wireless terminal is assigned a wireless terminal scrambling identifier. A set of ordered input modulation symbols are determined for an uplink dedicated segment to which user specific scrambling is to be applied. One bit of the assigned wireless terminal scrambling identifier is associated with each of the ordered input modulation symbols of a segment in accordance with a predetermined mapping. For each input modulation symbol a scrambling operation, e.g., a phase rotation of the input modulation symbol, is performed as a function of the associated user specific scrambling identifier bit to obtain a corresponding output modulation symbol. A value of (0,1) for a scrambling ID bit is associated with a (first, second) amount of phase rotation, e.g., (0, 180) degrees, respectively.
