Abstract:
A method comprising: determining, by a user equipment, transport format combinations (TFCs) out of a set of transport format combinations (TFCS) that exceed a maximum transmit power level; wherein the TFCs of the TFCS have an order; and selecting, by a user equipment, a TFC for transmission of uplink data based on the order of TFCs and are TFCs that are determined to not exceed the maximum transmit power level.
Abstract:
A peer-to-peer communication system using a direct link setup (DLS) is disclosed. A mobile station (STA) establishes a direct communication link with another STA by sending a message requesting a DLS to an access point (AP), (i.e., a centralized controller). The AP may accept or reject the DLS request based on channel measurements. If the DLS request is accepted, the DLS is established such that the STAs may directly communicate with each other. An established DLS connection may be torn down by the AP sending a message including a DLS teardown request to one of the STAs, or based on channel measurements. The system may be an Ad hoc network comprising a plurality of STAs without an AP where each STA maintains a database of one-hop and two-hop STAs, and establishes a direct link to other STAs after informing neighboring STAs of an intention to establish a direct communication link.
Abstract:
A method and system for controlling access to a medium in a wireless communication system. A superframe structure is defined in time domain to include a contention free period (CFP) which has at least one scheduled resource allocation (SRA), at least one management SRA (MSRA) and a contention period. An extended beacon (EB) including information about the SRA and MSRA is transmitted for. The MAC architecture reduces station battery consumption, supports higher throughput for non-real time (NRT) traffic and is more efficient for real time (RT) traffic while maintaining full compatibility.
Abstract:
An interference signal code power (ISCP) measurement is estimated in a time division multiple access/code division multiple access communication system. Signals transmitted in a particular time slot are received. A power level of the transmitted received signals of the particular time slot is measured. An association of ISCP values with measured power levels is provided. The measured power level is used to estimate an ISCP value. The estimated ISCP value is associated with that measured power level.
Abstract:
A method and system applies MAC transmission opportunity (TXOP) protection for multiple mode operation in a WLAN system. In particular, MAC mechanisms are defined to support multiple mode CTS frames, and multiple mode CF-End frames sent by the AP, each in a format appropriate for the corresponding mode which also applies to a single mode as a trivial case. MAC mechanisms permit truncation of TXOP duration for releasing the unused portion of the TXOP when no further data for transmission is available. Release of unused protected TXOP is possible for both protected AP transmissions and STA transmissions.
Abstract:
A method and system for controlling access to a wireless communication medium. The system includes at least one access point (AP) and at least one station (STA). The AP defines a superframe for transmission of data in a time domain having a high throughput (HT) period which includes at least one scheduled resource allocation (SRA) and at least one management SRA (MSRA). The AP broadcasts an extended beacon (EB) including information about the SRA and MSRA. The SRA is defined for transmitting traffic data between the AP and the STA, and the MSRA is defined for transmitting management and control data between the AP and the STA. The system reduces station battery consumption, supports higher throughput for non-real time (NRT) traffic and is more efficient for real time (RT) traffic while maintaining full compatibility.

Abstract:
A method and system applies MAC transmission opportunity (TXOP) protection for multiple mode operation in a WLAN system. In particular, MAC 5 mechanisms are defined to support multiple mode CTS frames, and multiple mode CF-End frames sent by the AP, each in a format appropriate for the corresponding mode which also applies to a single mode as a trivial case. MAC mechanisms permit truncation of TXOP duration for releasing the unused portion of the TXOP when no further data for transmission is available. Release of 10 unused protected TXOP is possible for both protected AP transmissions and STA transmissions.
Abstract:
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the present invention comprises a method for using the remaining Tx0P time by the peer node to forward traffic to a different destination, a method for using the remaining Tx0P time by the original node to send traffic to a different destination, a method for using the remaining Tx0P time by a neighbor to send traffic to the original node, a method for using the remaining Tx0P time by a neighbor to send traffic to another node, a method to signal the reuse rules of the remaining Tx0P time, and a method to efficiently relinquish/truncate a Tx0P to reset the NAV for the neighborhood.
