    Abstract: The invention described herein enables a form of downlink macro-diversity in packet-switched cellular networks. It allows packets (650, 650', 652, 652', 654, 654', 656, 656', 658, 658', 660, 660', 662) to be selectively delivered from a network/internetwork to an end node (200), e.g., wireless communication device or terminal, over a set of available link-layer connections (402, 502) to/from the end node (200), through one or more access nodes (300, 300'), e.g., base stations. Downlink macro-diversity is particularly important when the link layer connections (402, 502) between the end node (200) and the corresponding access node (300, 300'), e.g., the access links, are subject to independent or partially correlated time variations in signal strength and interference. In accordance with the invention, the end node (200) dynamically selects a downlink (402, 502) to be used out of a set of available access links on a per packet basis subject to prevailing channel conditions, availability of airlink resources and other constraints. The invention improves the robustness and efficiency of communication, overall utilization of air-link resources, and quality of service experienced by the end node (200).

    Abstract: Improved group communications methods which are well suited for a wireless environment are described. End nodes request that access nodes make changes in group membership information maintained at the access node. The access node responds to the requests by a response signal indicating a grant or denial of the request. Requests may be to add or remove the end node, e.g., a mobile wireless terminal, from a particular group membership list identified in the request signal. The access node maintains a detailed list of group members and uses the information to control how signals, e.g., packets, are transmitted to the group members. Group membership information may be updated at the access node at the time of handoff and/or an end node enters the cell or otherwise changes its point of network attachment.

    Abstract: Location update techniques are described. A dormant mobile node updates its location information by sending a first message over a wireless link to an access node. The access node generates a second update message in response to the first message. The second message includes a mobile node identifier and, in some embodiments is directed to the mobile node. The second message is received by a tracking agent, which updates location information corresponding to the mobile node. In the case where second message is an IP message and is routed to the mobile node using Mobile IP, a Mobile IP home agent routes the second message to the mobile node's last point of network attachment where the tracking agent is located and intercepts the message. The tracking agent may send a response message to the access node sending the second message.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for storing, manipulating, retrieving, and forwarding state, eg, context and other information, used to support communications sessions with one or more end nodes, eg, 5 mobile devices, are described. Various features are directed to a mobile node controlling the transfer of state from a first access node to a second access node during a handoff operation thereby eliminating any need for state transfer messages to be transmitted between the second access node and the first access node during handoff. Other features of the invention are directed to the use of a core network node to store state information. State information stored in the core node can be accessed and 0 used by access nodes in cases where a mobile node does not send a state transfer message during a handoff, eg, because communication with the first access node is lost or because such messages are not supported.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to broadcasting data in a peer to peer wireless communications network are described. A timing structure is utilized employing slots of a first type which support broadcast traffic transmissions and unicast traffic transmissions and slots of a second type which support unicast traffic transmission but do not support broadcast traffic transmissions. In various embodiments, traffic air link resource scheduling is performed in a decentralized manner on a slot by slot basis. In some such embodiments, a wireless device prior to transmitting a broadcast data traffic signal, transmits a broadcast transmission request signal, sometimes alternatively referred to as a broadcast indicator signal; and a wireless device prior to transmitting a peer to peer unicast signal, transmits a peer to peer traffic transmission request signal. In various embodiments, for slots of the first type, broadcast transmission requests have priority over peer to peer unicast transmission requests.
