Abstract:
The present invention proposes an infrastructure to enable seamless mobility for wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) and to provide for management of spectrum and network resources. An WMAN reference model is introduced where the radio resource management (RRM) and handover (HO) sublayer is introduced into the protocol stack. The WMAN management plane is responsible for the RRM and HO management. Several physical and logical network architecture options for WMAN management are proposed.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system including at least one IEEE 802 multi-stack wireless transmt/receive unit (WTRU) and a plurality of technologically diversified acess networks, such as IEEE 802.X networks and Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) networks, that are concurrently deployed. Both the multi-stack WTRU and the technologically diversified networks includ a media indipendent handover (MIH) function. The WTRU is configured to read MIH information transmitted from one of the IEEE 802.X networks, trigger 3GPP authentication and atuhorization procedures based on the MIH information, obtain a local Internet Protocol (IP) address, establish a tunnel to a packet data gateway (PDG) un a 3GPP core network, constructed a care of address (CoA) and register the CoA with a home agent of the WTRU, whereby data destined for the WTRU is routed via the home agent through a new tunnel established between the home agent and a foreign agent based on the CoA.
Abstract:
In a wireless communication system including an access point and at least one wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), a method for adaptive radio resource management begins by examining a frame error rate value of a WTRU. Then, a channel utilization value of the WTRU and a current data rate of the WTRU are examined. System parameters for the WTRU are adjusted based on the examined variables.
Abstract:
A radio resource control unit which monitors air interface resources, includes an air interface measurement unit for obtaining air interface measurements; a storage unit which stores air interface measurements and a corresponding timestamp; and a processing unit, for processing the air interface measurements. At least a portion of the interface measurements may be predicted values.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system including at least one IEEE 802 multi-stack wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) (110) and a plurality of technologically diversified access networks, such as IEEE 802.X networks and Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) networks, that are concurrently deployed. Both the multi-stack WTRU (110) and the technologically diversified networks include a media independent handover (MIH) function. The WTRU (110) is configured to read MIH information transmitted from one of the IEEE 802.X networks, trigger 3GPP authentication and authorization procedures based on the MIH information, obtain a local Internet Protocol (IP) address, establish a tunnel to a packet data gateway (PDG) in a 3GPP core network, construct a care of address (CoA) and register the CoA with a home agent (142) of the WTRU (110), whereby data destined for the WTRU (110) is routed via the home agent (142) through a new tunnel established between the home agent (142) and a foreign agent (136) based on the CoA.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing peer-to-peer wireless communication between a first station (STA) and a second STA. The method comprises a first STA setting up a direct link on a first channel to communicate with a second STA, wherein messages for setting up the direct link are delivered through an access point (AP); the first STA negotiating with the second STA to switch a channel for the direct link to a second channel, wherein messages for switching the channel are exchanged directly between the first STA and the second STA without going through the AP; and the first STA periodically switching between the first channel and the second channel to maintain connectivity with the AP.
Abstract:
Un método para transmitir un mensaje en una red mallada, método que comprende: recibir un mensaje que incluye una direccion de origen, una direccion de destino, un campo de direccion de receptor que incluye una primera direccion de receptor, y un campo de direccion de transmisor que incluye una primera direccion de transmisor; actualizar el campo de direccion de transmisor en el mensaje con la primera direccion de receptor; y transmitir el mensaje con los campos de direcciones actualizados hacia una direccion de siguiente salto en respuesta al mensaje recibido. También se divulga un punto mallado (MP) en donde se aplica el método.
Abstract:
A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EXCHANGING MESSAGES VIA A WIRELESS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM (WNS) (114) BETWEEN GROUPS OPERATING ON DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES ARE DISCLOSED. A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM INCLUDES A PLURALITY OF WIRELESS TRANSMIT/RECEIVE UNITS (WTRUS) (600) AND A PLURALITY OF BASIC SERVICE SETS (BSSS) (312A). AT LEAST ONE WTRU (600) BELONGS TO EACH BSS. A SOURCE WTRU (600) DESIRING TO SEND A WDS PACKET TO A DESTINATION WTRU (600) IN ANOTHER BSS SENDS AN AVAILABILITY NOTIFICATION (AN) MESSAGE TO WTRUS (600) WHICH THE SOURCE WTRU (600) IS ASSOCIATED WITH TO INDICATE THAT THE SOURCE WTRU (600) WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO RECEIVE DATA. THE SOURCE WTRU (600) THEN ACCESSES A CHANNEL ON WHICH THE DESTINATION WTRU (600) CAMPS AND SENDS A PACKET TO THE DESTINATION WTRU (600). AFTER TRANSMISSION OF THE PACKET, OR RECEIVING AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THE DESTINATION WTRU (600), THE SOURCE WTRU (600) REVERTS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL CHANNEL.
