Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for processing a forward traffic channel medium access control Universal Access terminal Identifier Received (FTCMAC.UATIReceived) indication in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving the FTCMAC.UATIReceived indication and determining if an Access terminal Identifier (ATIdentifier) that accompanies the FTCMAC.UATIReceived indication matches the ATIdentifier last transmitted by the access terminal.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are described that facilitate controlling transmission/ reception time slots in a wireless multi-hop ad hoc network. A node, such as an access terminal or an access point, may select an identifier that corresponds to specific time slots during which nodes with that particular identifier may transmit and/or receive. Nodes that are one hop away from each other may select different identifiers in order to ensure that neighboring nodes do not transmit and/or receive during the same time slots. In this manner, interference caused and/or experienced by a given node may be reduced.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a ConnectionOpenResponse message in a wireless communication system is provided comprising a 8 bit MessageID field, a 1 bit ConnectionStatus field wherein the ConnectionStatus field indicates status of a connection, and a 1 bit RegistrationRadiusFlag. The ConnectionOpenResponse message is generated and transmitted over a communication link. A method and apparatus is further provided for receiving and processing the message.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing BindUATI state in a wireless communication system characterized in that a packet is sent (402) with a header field UATIInfoIncluded set to '1', and it is determined (404) if UATIStatus in a MAC header is set to '1'.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing a ConnectionOpenResponse message in a wireless communcation system. The method includes receiving the ConnectionOpenResponse message and a a ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.UATIReceived indication in the same packet and determining if an UATIStatus field with the ForwardTrafficChannelMAC.UATIReceived indication is set to '0x2'.
