Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for mobile assisted sleep mode to reduce current drain in packet based mobile systems. The method comprising the step of receiving (102) from a network a channel condition threshold. Then, monitoring (104) a channel condition while in sleep mode. Then exiting (110) sleep mode in response to the determination (108) that the monitored channel condition is greater than the channel condition threshold.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of scheduling asynchronous transmissions for a plurality of subscriber units (12). The method includes receiving (305) information associated with a plurality of subscriber units that have uplink data to transmit, the information including uplink timing offset information associated with each of the subscriber units (12). Two or more subscriber units (12) are then selected (310) from a set of subscriber units having a timing offset differential, that is below a predetermined threshold, where the timing offset differential is the difference between the timing offset of a first subscriber unit and the timing offset of a second subscriber unit further selectively offset by a multiple of the transmission segment size, which minimizes the difference. The transmission segments, which are available for the uplink of data, are then allocated (315) between the selected two or more subscriber units (12), which limits the number of transmission segments that have at least one of an overlap or a gap, and the amount of any overlap or gap, in order to minimize wasted scheduling opportunities.
Abstract:
A method for rate selection by a communication device for enhanced uplink during soft handoff in a wireless communication system includes a first step of receiving information from a scheduler. This information can include one or more of scheduling, a rate limit, a power margin limit, and a persistence. A next step includes determining a data rate for an enhanced uplink during soft handoff using the information. A next step includes transmitting to a serving base station on an enhanced uplink channel at the data rate determined from the determining step.
