摘要:
Methods and apparatuses for versatile medium access control (MAC) multiplexing in evolved HSPA are disclosed. More particularly, methods for downlink optimization of the enhanced high speed MAC (MAC-ehs) entity and uplink optimization of the MAC-i/is entity are disclosed. Apparatuses for using the optimized downlink and uplink MAC entities are also disclosed.
摘要:
Enhancements are provided for the radio link control (RLC) protocol in wireless communication systems where variable RLC packet data unit (PDU) size is allowed. When flexible RLC PDU sizes are configured by upper layers, radio network controller (RNC)/Node B flow control, RLC flow control, status reporting and polling mechanisms are configured to use byte count based metrics in order to prevent possible buffer underflows in the Node B and buffer overflows in the RNC. The enhancements proposed herein for the RLC apply to both uplink and downlink communications.

The disclosed method and processor include data-flow multiplexing, segmentation and concatenation at the Node B MAC Layer. Such a method and apparatus support higher throughput due to the reduction in latency.

An acknowledged mode (AM) radio link control (RLC) architecture and method within evolved high speed packet access (HSPA) are disclosed. The RLC is configured to operate in AM and process protocol data units (PDUs) of flexible size. Specifically, an AM RLC architecture and method in which RLC SDUs are segmented and/or concatenated only at the time of or immediately prior to delivering the PDUs to lower layers. This includes an interface with lower layers in order to support flexible PDU sizes for AM RLC.

A method and system for controlling access to a wireless communication medium are disclosed. The system includes at least one access point (AP) and at least one station (STA). The AP defines a superframe for transmission of data in a time domain having a high throughput (HT) period which includes at least one scheduled resource allocation (SRA) and at least one management SRA (MSRA). The AP broadcasts an extended beacon (EB) including information about the SRA and MSRA. The SRA is defined for transmitting traffic data between the AP and the STA, and the MSRA is defined for transmitting management and control data between the AP and the STA. The system reduces station battery consumption, supports higher throughput for non-real time (NRT) traffic and is more efficient for real time (RT) traffic while maintaining full compatibility.
摘要:
An integrated circuit configured for outer loop power control uses data transmitted in temporary dedicated channel allocations. A target metric, preferably, target SIR, is adjusted with differing step up and step down increments to converge on a relatively low steady state level of step up and step down target metric adjustments. The initial target SIR and the transient step size for target SIR adjustment is determined in a dynamic way in the outer loop power control for each Temp-DCH allocation of non-real time data.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for protecting high throughput (HT) stations (STAs) are disclosed. In one embodiment, a physical layer (PHY) legacy preamble transmitted by one STA is decoded by another STA that does not use a legacy preamble. In another embodiment, one STA is identified by another STA by using bits in the preamble of a packet to indicate which PHY type will be used in the remaining portion of the packet. In yet another embodiment, one STA sends ready-to-send (RTS)/clear-to-send (CTS) or CTS-to-self messages for reserving a medium in the presence of another STA of a different type than the one STA. In yet another embodiment, an access point (AP) transmits a beacon or an association message including a capability information element (IE) that indicates operation or support for a legacy preamble, HT STA preambles and a medium access control (MAC) packet transmission with HT protection mechanisms.
