    Abstract: A system and a method for reverse link power control in a wireless communications network generates power adjust commands for mobiles being served by a network base station in a centralized manner by considering overall system performance when an increased interference condition is detected. In one implementation, a base station power control processor adopts a modified reverse inner loop power control (RILPC) and/or a reverse outer loop power control (ROLPC) algorithm when an increased interference condition is detected. According to the modified RILPC algorithm, a percentage of power-up adjust commands which would normally be generated when Eb/No measurements for served mobiles do not meet target Eb/No levels are converted to power down-adjust commands, thereby forcing some mobiles to reduce transmit power, at least temporarily, to constrain interference. When the increased interference condition persists, the percentage of power-up adjust commands which are converted to power-down commands may be changed. According to the modified ROLPC algorithm, the power control processor adjusts target Eb/No levels in a centralized manner based on an overall system state so that only a limited number of target Eb/No levels are allowed to increase when frame erasures occur. By preventing a percentage of target Eb/No level increases, at least temporarily, when frame erasures occur, a percentage of power up-adjust commands are avoided. Therefore, a similar effect to that achieved by the modified RILPC is achieved. In accordance with still a further implementation of the present invention, the modified RILPC algorithm may be used in combination with the modified ROLPC algorithm to provide greater resistance to increased interference conditions.

    Abstract: A back haul architecture effectively reduces the reactivation times for both forward-link and reverse-link data transmissions over CDMA wireless communications systems, by relying on packet-mode transmissions over the back haul between a frame selection/distribution (FSD) function and the appropriate base stations for both forward-link data and reverse-link data. In particular, for the forward direction, the FSD function transmits forward-link data only to one base station (i.e., the primary base station), which is solely responsible for controlling the forward-link air interface with the corresponding mobile unit. As such, the forward link always operates in simplex mode for data transmissions, independent of how many base stations are operating in soft handoff for the reverse link with the same mobile unit. For the reverse direction, each base station that receives frames of reverse-link data from the mobile unit, assigns a time tag to the frame, divides the frame into one or more data packets, assigns a different sequence number to each data packet, and transmits the data packets to the FSD function over the back haul, all without first synchronizing time with any other base station that is also operating in reverse-link soft hand-off with that mobile unit. The FSD function (or preferably the radio link protocol (RLP) function) is then responsible for selecting packets of reverse-link data for subsequent processing (e.g., transmission to the network end of the connection). By limiting forward-link data transmissions to simplex mode and using packet-mode transmissions for reverse-link data, the need to first synchronize timing between the various base stations is eliminated for both forward-link and reverse-link data transmissions. As a result, reactivation delays are greatly reduced.

    Abstract: A method for determining the reverse link data Rate Limit for mobile stations active on the reverse link of a High Data Rate system is disclosed. In the ideal case, the Rate Limit is based on only the number of mobile stations located in a common sector that are actually active on the reverse link. Currently, the Rate Limit is determined from the total number of mobile stations in a common sector where the total includes mobiles that are transmitting and receiving. Thus, the current method includes mobile stations that are active on the forward link and may not be active on the reverse link. In this invention, a more optimum method of estimating the reverse link loading is obtained from calculations which includes only the mobile stations which are active on the reverse link. An estimate of the reverse link loading of the mobile stations in a common cell is obtained by adding together the data rates of the data sent from each mobile in a common sector during a common frame. This aggregate rate of data during the frame is filtered to minimize irregularities by using the moving average of an infinite impulse response filter and then normalized. The normalized result is a percentage of the maximum achievable aggregate reverse link rate. The final result is compared with a set of threshold values to obtain the maximum Rate Limit that is then set for each mobile station.

    Abstract: Bursts of additional bandwidth (e.g., one or more supplemental channels or a channel having variable bandwidth) is assigned to users (e.g., high-speed data users) in a cellular telecommunication system. A request for assignment of additional bandwidth may be an initial request, a continuation request for an on-going burst, or a retry requests after a previously rejected request. In any case, it is determined whether to grant or reject the request. If the request is rejected, instructions are given to submit a retry request after a specified back-off time. The present invention may be implemented using either an asynchronous approach or a synchronous approach. According to the asynchronous approach, all requests are handled asynchronously. According to the synchronous approach, initial requests are handled asynchronously, but continuation requests and retry requests are handled synchronously at epoch times that coincide with specific time slots.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for utilizing SCH resources more efficiently for supplemental channels (SCH) by minimizing gaps between data bursts due to overhead delays. Such gaps are minimized using a supplemental channel sharing algorithm to prospectively assign SCH resources supporting existing SCHs and to schedule future issuance of data notify requests DNRs such that currently unavailable SCH resources may be prospectively assigned based on states of the SCH resources, wherein an existing SCH is a SCH over which a data burst is currently being transmitted. For this purpose a data burst is followed by a preferred used assignment window (PUA), indicating the current user, a waiting user assignment window (WUA) and an expired reassignment window (ERA).

    Abstract: To take advantage of hierarchical cell layers, an inter-layer handoff system determines a cell layer for servicing a wireless unit at least as a function of the duration that the wireless unit is in a cell or set of cells of a cell layer. For example, as a function of the duration that the wireless unit is in the cell or set of cells for a first cell layer, a determination is made as to whether the wireless unit should be serviced by a cell or set of cells of a second cell layer. As such, wireless units moving at higher speeds which will be handed off frequently in a smaller cell layer(s) are serviced by a larger cell layer(s). Thus, the hierarchical cellular communications system can have the increased capacity provided by the smaller cell layer(s) while reducing the number of handoffs which would occur of the faster moving wireless units in the smaller cell layer(s). In certain embodiments, a timer starts when the wireless unit connects to a cell in a first layer, and the timer stops when the wireless unit disconnects from the cell. Depending on the amount of time that the wireless unit is in the cell of the first layer or a function thereof, the inter-layer handoff system determines whether the wireless unit should be serviced by another cell layer. For example, the network can compare a timer value(s) or a function thereof with threshold value(s) which are chosen such that the frequency of handoffs are below a certain level at each cell layer.

    Abstract: A method for controlling access of a subscriber station to a wireless communications system facilitates the maintenance of a performance target of the reverse link and desired geographic coverage of the reverse link. The method for controlling access of a subscriber station to a wireless communications system includes measuring a first performance indicator and a second performance indicator for a reverse link associated with a subscriber station seeking access to a wireless communications system. A blocking threshold value is established based upon the measured second performance indicator and may be adjusted to allow more or less blocking based on any additional metrics that characterize the performance of the current subscriber stations. The decision to grant or deny access of the subscriber station to the wireless communications system is determined based on a comparison of the measured first performance indicator to the established blocking threshold value.
