Abstract:
The invention discloses a method for real-time service transmission and a method for resource allocation, wherein, the method for resource allocation of real-time service transmission includes the following processing: through resource allocation control channel, the base station allocates the semi-static service channel resource which is used for the initial transmission of hybrid automatic retransmission request of real-time service packet; wherein, before the base station performs to reconfigure or release the semi-static service channel resource, the terminal can use the semi-static service channel resource continually; through the resource allocation control channel, the base station allocates the dynamic service channel for the terminal which is used for the retransmission of hybrid automatic retransmission request of real-time service packet, wherein, the terminal can only use the dynamic service channel resource in allocated time. Through this invention, the real-time of the service transmission can be ensured and the control signaling cost can be reduced in service transmission, therefore, the Qos requirement of service can be ensured.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are described relating to resource management techniques for wireless networks. For example, a resource deficiency may be determined (1410) for a requesting wireless node in a wireless network (100). A resource request may be sent (1420) from the requesting node to one or more other wireless nodes, and a resource reply including a resource status may be received (1430) from one or more of the other wireless nodes in response to the resource request. One of the other nodes from which to obtain a resource may be selected (1440) based on the resource status for the selected node, and a resource update message may be sent (1450) from the requesting wireless node to the selected wireless node to facilitate a reallocation of resources from the selected node to the requesting node, the resource update message indicating an amount of resources to be reallocated from the selected node to the requesting node.
Abstract:
A load balancing system for dynamic balancing of load between sectors of a sectored cellular base stations, comprises plurality of repeaters (12, 14) with local coverage in the sectors, and a switching matrix (22), for associating between th repeaters and the base station, and for allowing the repeaters to be switched between different sectors. If the system the base station assigned frequency band for communication with the repeaters then the system can be provided with minimal interference as an add-on to a legacy base station. An add-on may also be provided using microwave frequenc and dedicated antennas.
Abstract:
The performance and ease of management of wireless communications environments is improved by a mechanism that enables access points (12) to perform automatic channel selection. A wireless network (10) can therefore include multiple access points (12), each of which will automatically choose a channel such that channel usage is optimized. Furthermore, access points (12) can perform automatic power adjustment so that multiple access points (12) can operate on the same channel while minimizing interference with each other. Wireless stations (16) are load balanced across access points (12) so that user bandwidth is optimized. A movement detection scheme provides seamless roaming of stations (16) between access points (12).
Abstract:
Methods and system are provided for assigning channels in a spatial division multiple access communication network. The network includes a plurality of conventional channels some of which are configurable to be shared concurrently by plural subscribers. The method includes determining combinations of subscribers from the existing subscribers. Existing subscribers are reassigned to share channels thereby freeing resources for new subscribers.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for adjusting sectors across coverage cells using base stations interconnected by a packet network. A plurality of wireless devices monitor the pilot channel signal strength of their respective serving cell (802). The serving cells then collect measurements from the wireless devices (806) and calculate the boundaries of their respective coverage areas (810). The serving cells then transmit their calculations to their neighbouring cells (810). Upon receipt, the neighbouring cells use the calculations to adjust the coverage of their sectors (816).
Abstract:
The present invention may include a method of increasing cell use in a dedicated network. The method may include the steps of measuring cell traffic loads within the dedicated network, restricting access to the dedicated network during a first time period to users within the dedicated network, and allowing access to the dedicated network during a second time period to users outside the dedicated network.
Abstract:
A cellular mobile data packet communication system (10) comprising a first base radio station (BS1) with a first maximum number of channels which each can communicate with a first maximum number of users. The first base radio station (BS1) covers a cell (30) in the system, in which system the first base radio station indicates permission for users to communicate with it by transmitting a flag in the cell. The system is characterized in that the data communication system (10) can be expanded by adding at least a second base radio station (BS2) with a second maximum number of channels with a second maximum number of users to the first base radio station to form a base group (BG). The system additionally comprising means for deciding which base radio station has the least load, with the base radio station with the least load transmitting its permission flag.
