Abstract:
Methods and apparatus related to communicating and/or using load information in support of decentralized traffic scheduling decisions are described. Individual wireless terminals corresponding to a peer to peer connection which desire to communicate traffic signals make transmitter yielding and/or receiver yielding decisions on a traffic slot by traffic slot basis. Loading information is used to intentionally skew transmitter yielding decisions in response to conditions and/or needs in the system. A link load weight value is generated based on intended transmitter loading related information and/or intended receiver loading related information. Traffic request parameters and/or link load weight values are communicated between wireless communications devices in request and/or request response signaling. As part of a transmitter yielding decision, one or more of: a spillage value, weighted SINR, and an interference cost estimate is calculated based on: one or more link load weight values and channel condition measurement information.
Abstract:
A system and a method that facilitates scheduling uplink transmissions in a communication network including a first base station that includes a first sector employing a dynamic interference budget, comprising: receiving channel quality reports from one or more mobile devices (1502), - scheduling a first mobile device for uplink transmission from a first sector on a first channel during a first time slot based on a first interference budget level (1504); scheduling a second mobile device for uplink transmission from the first sector on the first channel during a second time slot based on a second interference budget level (1506), the first interference budget level and the second interference budget level being determined from a first interference budget pattern that varies over time; and transmitting assignments to the first mobile device and the second mobile device related to the scheduled uplink transmissions (1508).
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate controlling transmission power of a wireless terminal. A downlink power control channel segment may include an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) tone-symbol that may comprise a first component and a second component. The first component may be an in-phase (I) component and the second component may be a quadrature (Q) component, for example. A power command may be transmitted in the first component. Further, information associated with a wireless terminal may be transmitted in the second component. The information associated with the wireless terminal may be, for instance, a portion of a scrambling mask associated with the wireless terminal.
Abstract:
The claimed subject matter relates to configuring a host device through utilization of MMP, which is a protocol that is based upon MIP but not associated with several deficiencies associated therewith. In particular, a wireless terminal can be configured to run MMP and send messages that conform to MMP over a wireless link. A base station can be configured to act as a DHCP server. The base station can provide configuration information to host device by way of DHCP.
