A method for designing a soft handoff region in a wireless communications system. An inner region having an outer edge defined by a first radius is selected, wherein a mobile station communicates only with the base station within the inner region and has a selected outage probability at the outer edge of the inner region. Next, a soft handoff region having an outer edge defined by a second radius and an inner edge defined by the first radius is selected, wherein the mobile station within the soft handoff region has the selected outage probability. Actual coverage region having an outer edge defined by a third radius, wherein the third radius is selected to match soft handoff regions of other cells adjacent to the cell.

Accurate calculation of the probability of outage for a cell within a CDMA network is utilized to relate cell coverage to cell capacity. Based on a desired probability of outage, the coverage of the cell may be calculated for an average number of users within the cell. The calculation is independent of the admission policy employed to achieve the specified average number of users. The resulting closed form expression for the tradeoff between coverage and carried traffic allows an optimal design of a CDMA network.

Provided herein is a computer-implemented method for generating an optimized cellular-network cell-site plan for an area. A plurality of cellular-traffic demand nodes distributed across the area is provided. Each cellular-traffic demand node of the plurality of cellular-traffic demand nodes has an associated weighting characteristics set. The plurality of nodes are consolidated into a plurality of centroids. Each centroid represents a number of nodes that come within a traffic threshold. A potential cell site is positioned on each of the centroids. Each potential cell site has an associated base-transmitter-station parameter characteristics set. The demand node coverage of each potential cell site is determined with respect to a signal strength of the potential cell site. From the plurality of potential cell sites a minimized cell-site subset is selected while maintaining sufficient cellular service coverage of the plurality of demand nodes.

The mobility of mobile subscribers within a wireless digital communications system is estimated based on highway maps and traffic data. Cells within the network are modelled as nodes connected by edges where neighboring cells are connected by roads. Each edge has two edge weight components representing traffic flow from one cell to the other and vice versa. The edge weight components are calculated from terrain factors based on the size or capacity of the roads connecting the two cells and the total traffic within the subject cell, which information may be obtained from commercial geographic databases and/or government agencies. The resulting edge weight represents an expected number of handoffs between the two cells. The problem of partitioning cells among available switches within the network is thus reduced to the purely mathematical problem of minimizing the total edge weights of edges intersected by the partition boundaries. Existing mathematical optimization techniques for optimizing node-edge systems may therefore be applied to reduce the total number of expected inter-switch handoffs as mobile subscribers pass from cell to cell within the network.

Systems and methods are described that facilitate evaluating conditions of nodes (e.g., access points, access terminals, etc.) in a wireless communication environment to determine a level of disadvantage for a given node relative to other nodes. A first node may receive a resource utilization message (RxRUM) and may determine a level of disadvantage for a node that sent the RxRUM. The first node may then compare its own level of disadvantage to the sending node in order to permit a determination of an appropriate course of action in response to the RxRUM.

A system for reducing in-phase and quadrature-phase (I/Q) impairments includes first, second, third, and fourth programmable registers for storing respective first, second, third, and fourth values, first and second finite impulse response (FIR) filters having respective first and second sets of filter taps, and first and second adders. The first FIR filter receives an I input signal and generates first and second intermediate output signals based on the first and second values for I and Q channels, respectively. The second FIR filter receives a Q input signal and generates third and fourth intermediate output signals based on the third and fourth values for the I and Q channels, respectively. The first and second adders receive the first and second, and the third and fourth intermediate output signals, respectively, and generate compensated I and Q output signals for the I and Q channels.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate mitigating a hidden node condition in a wireless mesh network wherein nodes utilize a request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) protocol in conjunction with an asynchronous hybrid automatic repeat request protocol. For instance, a node may contend for a set of subcarriers by sending an RTS signal over the desired subcarriers, and may receive a CTS signal over the contended subcarriers, wherein the CTS signal indicates which subcarriers the node may transmit data over. If another node has won the contention for a particular subcarrier, requesting node may adjust a power level at which it transmits an RTS or a data packet in order to permit the requesting node to utilize the subcarrier without interfering with the winning node.

Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate wireless communication using resource utilization messages (RUMs), in accordance with various aspects. A RUM may be generated for a first node, such as an access point or an access terminal, to indicate that a first predetermined threshold has been met or exceeded. The RUM may be weighted to indicate a degree to which a second predetermined threshold has been exceeded. The first and/or second predetermined thresholds may be associated with various parameters associated with the node, such as latency, throughput, data rate, spectral efficiency, carrier-to-interference ratio, interference-over-thermal level, etc. The RUM may then be transmitted to one or more other nodes to indicate a level of disadvantage experienced by the first node.
