Abstract:
A system and method for dectecting discontinuous transmission (DTX) frames. The inventive method includes the steps of receiving data transmitted in a pluralitz of frames (62); classifzing each of the frames (63); analyzing the classification of a number of successive frames of the received data and providing a metric with respect thereto; and determining, in response to the metric, if a frame is a discontinuous frame (66). In the illustrative embodiment, the step of classifzing includes the step of error checking the frames using a cyclic redundancz check (CRC) error checking protocol. The received frames are classified as good frames (G), erasureframes (E), or discontinuous frames (D). A numerical value is assigned toe ach of the frames based on the classification thereof. Next, the frames are filtered tp provice an output Yn=Yn-1+Xn where 'n' is a frame number, Yn is the filter output for a given frame n, Yn-1 is the filter output for a previous frame, and Xn is a stream of input frames. A threshold is set for the output Yn to facilitate the detection of discontinuous frames. That is, a detection of a discontinuous transmisson frame is indicated when a frame is classified as an 'erasure' and the filter output exceeds the threshold. On the detection of a discontinuous frame, the classification of the frame is changed from 'erasure' to 'discontinuous'. By reclassifying improperly classified erasure frames, the mobile receiver is inhibited from requesting retransmission of the frames of a change in the transmit power level. Consequently, network throughput and capacity are optimized and system power is conserved.

A femtocell base station may include a narrower transmit pulse-shaping filter and a narrower receive pulse-shaping filter. The mobile station may utilize the narrower transmit pulse-shaping filter for transmitting uplink signals and the narrower receive pulse-shaping filter for receiving downlink signals when it is receiving service from the femtocell base station. The mobile station may utilize the standard transmit pulse-shaping filter for transmitting uplink signals and the standard receive pulse-shaping filter for receiving downlink signals when it is receiving service from a macrocell base station.

Abstract:
A method of and apparatus for scheduling data transmissions in a communication network comprising at least one cell (2a to 2g) and at least one scheduled user (6a to 6e) improves utilization of the reverse link and decreases the transmission delay in data communication. The apparatus comprises a controller (92) for collecting status information for said communication network and for scheduling data transmissions from said at least one cell (2a to 2g) to said at least one scheduled user (6a to 6e). A memory (94) is connected to said controller for storing said status information, and a timer (96) is connected to provide timing signals to said controller (92). The timing signals enable said controller to perform scheduling of data transmission. Each remote station is assigned a maximum unscheduled transmission rate for the duration of the communication with a cell. A maximum scheduled transmission rate can be assigned by a channel scheduler (12) for scheduled transmission of data traffic at high rates. The maximum scheduled transmission rate is assigned in accordance with a set of system goals, a list of system constraints, and collected information on the status of the communication network. Data is partitioned in data frames and transmitted over the reverse link at or below the maximum scheduled transmission rate which have been assigned to the scheduled user.
Abstract:
In a communication system capable of variable rate transmission, scheduling of high speed data transmission improves utilization of the forward link and decreases the transmission delay in data communication. Each remote station (6) is assigned one primary code channel for the duration of the communication with a cell. Secondary code channels of various types and transmission capabilities can be assigned by a channel scheduler (12) for scheduled transmission of data traffic at high rates. Secondary code channels are assigned in accordance with a set of system goals, a list of parameters, and collected information on the status of the communication network. Secondary code channels can be grouped into sets of secondary code channels. Data is partitioned in data frames and transmitted over the primary and secondary code channels which have been assigned to the scheduled user.
