Abstract:
A mesh access point, MAP, and a method for use in a mesh access point are A receiver in the MAP is configured to receive an interconnection requirement information including an Internet Protocol, IP, address. A processor is configured to generate a backhaul link information based on the interconnection requirement information and a transmitter is configured to transmit the backhaul link information.
Abstract:
A radio resource management (RRM) entity which increases the capacity of a mesh network including a plurality of mesh points (MPs) and a plurality of mesh portals is disclosed. A discovery phase is performed in the mesh network such that, for each MP, the mesh network has access to information which provides a ranking of the available mesh portals and MP next-hops, and related routing metrics for each individual MP in the mesh network. A preferred mesh portal is assigned to each of the MPs in the mesh network. Each MP scans, collects, and reports channel-based measurements of all available channels. Channels are assigned to each of the mesh portals. Channels are also sequentially assigned to the MPs.
Abstract:
A method for communicating a list of handover candidates in a wireless local area network from a station to a serving access point (AP) begins by determining a list of handover candidate APs at the station. The candidate list is sorted at the station and is sent to the serving AP. The sending step can include sending the candidate list to the serving AP upon the expiration of a predetermined period of time or upon receipt at the station of an event trigger. The method can also include the step of requesting a candidate list from the station by the serving AP.
Abstract:
A method, access point (AP) and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) in wireless communications are disclosed. Means are provided for a first communication station providing a load element for each of a plurality of access categories, and advertising the plurality of load elements to other communication stations.
Abstract:
A method for taking measurements with a smart antenna in a wireless communication system having a plurality of STAs begins by sending a measurement request from a first STA to a second STA. At least two measurement packets are transmitted from the second STA to the first STA. Each measurement packet is received at the first STA using a different antenna beam. The first STA performs measurements on each measurement packet and selects an antenna beam direction based on the measurement results.
Abstract:
A method and system wherein timeslots designated in a wireless communication system as Common Physical Channel (CPCH) timeslots may be reused for user traffic. A CPCH timeslot used in a first cell (102) may be reused by a second cell (104), assuming the first and second cells transmit control information in different CPCH timeslots, for user traffic. The second cell is permitted to reuse the timeslot in which the first cell is transmitting control information so long as the second cell's reuse of that timeslot does not degrade reception of control information in the first cell.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for sending a channel quality indication (CQI) via a shared channel while a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is in a Cell_FACH state without having a dedicated channel allocated for the WTRU are disclosed. A WTRU performs a measurement of at least one parameter and generates a CQI based on the measurement. The WTRU then transmits the CQI via a random access channel (RACH). The CQI may be transmitted using an RACH preamble. A plurality of signature sequences may be divided into a plurality of groups. The WTRU may select one group based on the CQI and randomly select a signature sequence among signature sequences in the selected group for transmitting the RACH preamble. The CQI may be appended to the RACH preamble. The CQI may be transmitted via a control part or a data part of the RACH message.
Abstract:
A METHOD FOR TAKING MEASUREMENTS WITH A SMART ANTENNA IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM HAVING A PLURALITY OF STAs BEGINS BY SENDING A MEASUREMENT REQUEST FROM A FIRST STA (902) TO A SECOND STA (904). AT LEAST TWO MEASUREMENT PACKETS ARE TRANSMITTED FROM THE SECOND STA (904) TO THE FIRST STA. EACH MEASUREMENT PACKET (200) IS RECEIVED AT THE FIRST STA (902) USING A DIFFERENT ANTENNA BEAM. THE FIRST STA PERFORMS MEASUREMENTS ON EACH MEASUREMENT PACKET (200) AND SELECTS AN ANTENNA BEAM DIRECTION BASED ON THE MEASUREMENT RESULTS.
