PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the quality of service and improve the network efficiency in order to provide services at high data rates.SOLUTION: An access terminal is configured to determine a forward link quality metric associated with each of a plurality of sectors serviced by a plurality of access points; assign credits to each sector in relation to the forward link quality metric; and change a data source control (DSC) value if the credits accumulated for a non-serving sector at a DSC change boundary is greater than a predetermined threshold, where the non-serving sector and the serving sector for the access terminal belong to different cells. The access terminal is further configured to change a data rate control (DRC) cover in accordance with the DSC change. The use of DSC provides an early indication of handoff, thereby allowing the service outage associated with server switching to be substantially reduced.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for an adaptive de-jitter buffer. SOLUTION: The adaptive de-jitter buffer is used for voice over IP (VoIP) for packet switch communications. This method and this apparatus for the de-jitter buffer presented avoid playback of underflows while balancing end-to-end delay. The de-jitter buffer is recalculated at the beginning of each sound part. Sound part packets are compressed upon receipt of all remaining packets. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
Method and apparatus for estimating reverse link loading in a wireless communication system. The reverse link interference is measured and reverse link receiver noise is measured. The reverse link interference is compared to the reverse link receiver noise, for example, by dividing the interference power by the receiver noise power. The reverse link receiver noise can be measured in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system by nulling transmission from access terminals within the cell and nearby during a null time and frequency interval. Power measure in the null time and frequency interval is receiver noise power. The reverse link interference can be measure by several means. For example, local null time and frequency intervals can be designated. The access terminals within the cell null their transmissions during the local time and frequency intervals. Access terminals outside the cell continue to transmit during the local time and frequency intervals. Power measured in the local time and frequency interval is interference power. As another example, interference power can be measured by subtracting pairs of pilot symbols that are contiguous to each other in time or frequency.
Abstract:
Interference that occurs during wireless communication may be managed through the use of fractional reuse and other techniques. In some aspects fractional reuse may relate to HARQ interlaces, 5 portions of a timeslot, frequency spectrum, and spreading codes. Interference may be managed through the use of a transmit power profile and/or an attenuation profile. Interference also may be managed through the use of power management-related techniques.
