    Abstract: Method and apparatus for variable length Physical Layer (PL) packet generation. Multiple Security Layer (SL) packets may be multiplexed into a single PL packet to increase efficiency, wherein the SL packets may have variable lengths. In one embodiment, different format SL packets for different users are combined into capsules that form the PL packet. Shorter packets are for users in poor channel conditions or requiring smaller amounts of data due to the applications and the accompanying Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In one embodiment, a modified Preamble structure provides for Unicast or multi-user packets. Alternate embodiment provides modified Rate Sets, a mechanism for identifying ACK from a single-user packet or a multiplexed packet (delayed ACK). ON/OFF keying for ACK channel v/s bi-polar keying used in IS-856, and/or multi-valued interpretation of DRC.

    Abstract: In a high data rate communication system capable of variable rate transmission, an open loop rate control can be adjusted with a closed loop rate control to maximize throughput. An access point generates interleaved multi-slot packets that allow an access terminal to transmit indicator messages to the access point in accordance with recently received data carried within slots of the multi-slot packets.

    Abstract: An apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention includes a transmitter. The transmitter comprises a first gain element configured and arranged to modulate a radio-frequency signal according to a first gain fact or to produce a first output signal; and a second gain element configured and arranged to modulate the radio-frequency signal according to a second gain factor to produce a second output signal, wherein a magnitude of the first gain factor varies over time, and wherein a magnitude of the second gain factor varies over time with respect ot the magnitude of the first gain factor. Each of the modulated signals is coupled to a respective antenna. Th e combined radiation pattern of the antennas varies in an angular direction ov er time. In a system according to one embodiment of the invention, a base stati on including such an apparatus receives channel quality indications from mobile units and schedules data transmissions to the mobile units accordingly.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for estimating maximum rate of data and for estimating a transmission power required for transmission of a data with a rate of data i n a communication system are disclosed. A terminal determines a quality metric of a communication link, over which data are to be transmitted, and modifies the determined quality metric by a quality metric margin. The terminal then estimates the maximum rate of data in accordance with the modified quality metric. Alternatively, the terminal then estimates transmission power requir ed for transmission of a data with a rate of data in accordance with the rate o f data and the modified quality metric. The quality metric margin may be pre- determined or dynamically adjusted. The terminal dynamically adjusts the quality metric margin in accordance with a result of comparison of a transmi t power corresponding to the estimated maximum rate of data with an actual transmit power used to transmit the data.
