Abstract: Uplink traffic channel allocation is realized by utilizing a dedicated control channel in which a prescribed portion of the control channel resource, for example, frequency, time slot or the like, is reserved for transporting the uplink traffic channel requests. Both the base station and the particular mobile unit know the prescribed portion of the control channel resource a priori. Consequently, when the particular mobile unit transmits an uplink traffic channel request via the prescribed portion of the control channel resource there is no need for adding any control header information, thereby minimizing overhead. Furthermore, the length of the uplink traffic channel requests can be optimally chosen without constraints imposed by other control message schemes. Reduced overhead coupled with the prescribed portion of the control channel resource arriving quite frequently reduces latency in the particular mobile unit acquiring an uplink traffic channel. In one example, delivery of adequate uplink traffic channel request information to the base station, while minimizing the adverse impact of losing requests, is ensured by persistently transmitting the requests. Specifically, after the mobile unit transmits a first request, it transmits a second or even a third request instead of waiting to receive a response message from the base station and/or waiting for a timer to time out. By the mobile unit using such a persistent request transmission scheme, the base station can readily determine the true value of the received request by eliminating the transmission loop delay effect, thereby allowing a sensible assignment decision to be made.

Abstract: In a unique paging time slot format, each of the allocated paging time slots occurs periodically and is split into several prescribed paging time slots including at least one first type paging time slot having a relatively short duration and at least one second type paging time slot having a longer duration. The at least one first type paging time slots is of relatively short duration and transports an indication whether a particular associated wireless terminal was paged. The second type paging time slot is of longer duration than the first type time slot and transports the entire paging message. Specifically, a wireless terminal that is normally in a standby mode only has to enter a monitor mode, i.e., "wake up", to monitor the relatively short first type paging time slot to determine whether it has been paged (502). If it has been paged, the wireless terminal then monitors the longer second type paging time slot to determine if it is transporting a valid paging message for the paged wireless terminal (503). If no valid paged indication is detected in the first type paging time slot or no valid paging message is detected in the second type paging time slot, the wireless terminal returns to the standby mode, i.e., returns to a "sleep" state, and waits for the next periodic occurrence of its assigned paging time slot (503).

Abstract: An unique arrangement including a so-called timing control order and timing control signals is employed to identify whether wireless terminals are reachable within a base station cell coverage area in a wireless communications system. To this end, detection of a particular wireless terminal being alive and well, and whitin the cell coverage area associated with a base station if effected by the base station transmitting a timing control order (601) in a timing control time slot reserved for the particular wireless terminal. If the particular wireless terminal receives the timing control order, it transmits a prescribed timing control message at a prescribed time. If the base station does not receive the timing control message, it is an indication that communication with the particular wireless terminal has been lost.

Abstract: A base station within a cell of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based spread spectrum multiple access system employs sectorization as a way to reduce the intercell interference. The cell is sectorized from a transmission point of view by the directionality of the downlink antenna, and the OFDM tone set employed in each cell is correspondingly sectorized, i.e., each sector in the cell is allocated a set of tones within a sub-band of the available frequency bandwidth for use when transmitting into that sector. The sub-bands assigned to each sector are periodically changed, or "hopped", among the available sub-bands within the totally available bandwidth. Such sub-band hopping is a so-called "slow" hopping, in that it is not performed on a symbol-by-symbol basis but instead occurs only after more than one symbol has been transmitted in a sector on tones within the sub-band. Each sector employs its own pilot signal, which is assigned one or more tones within the sub-band currently employed by that sector. Similarly, for the uplink, the base station may employ a directional receiver antenna. Preferably, the mobile terminal only transmits on a tone that is within a sub-band that is allocated to the sector in which the mobile terminal is located. This, sub-band, however, need not correspond to the same location within the bandwidth as the sub-band used by the downlink to communicate with the mobile terminal.

Abstract: Access request transmissions are effected in a wireless communications system by assigning each mobile unit a unique dedicated uplink resource. Specifically, each mobile unit is assigned channel segments with distinct time slot indices and/or waveform indices, where waveforms with distinct indices are orthogonal. A base station can identify the mobile that has made an access request from the dedicated uplink resource. Therefore, no mobile identification number is needed in the uplink request message. Then, the base station can transmit a request response message on a shared downlink resource that may include the identification number of the requesting mobile unit to acknowledge reception of the request. The mobile unit may transmit on a shared uplink resource an acknowledgment of reception of the downlink request response message.

Abstract: Latency in receiving and detecting paging messages at a wireless termin al is reduced by employing a unique "super" paging time slot format. A paging super time slot includes a plurality of prescribed time slots. Each wireless terminal is associated with cyclically recurring super time slots. A super slot is associated with one or more wireless terminals. A base station always select s the first available time slot in a super time slot to transmit a paging message to a wireless terminal that is associated with the super time slot. Each wireless terminal monitors every time slot in the associated super time slot until either detecting reception of its associated paging message or detecting an empty time slot. In another embodiment of the invention, a unique partially overlapping super time slot format is employed in which a super time slot has at least o ne time slot common to its adjacent super time slots. This allows wireless terminals associated with adjacent super time slots to share the common at least one time slot. In turn, this results in balanced traffic loads, smoothed traffic fluctuation and reduced congestion.

Abstract: In an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based spread spectr um multiple access system the entire bandwidth is divided into orthogonal tones , and all of the orthogonal tones are reused in each cell. To reduce peak-to-average rati o at the mobile transmitter, each voice user is allocated preferably a single one, bu t no more than a very small number, of the orthogonal tones for use in communicating with t he base station. Data users are similarly allocated tones for data communication, however, the number of tones assigned for each particular data user is a function of the data rate for that user. The tone assignment for a given user is not always the same withi n the available band, but instead the tones assigned to each user are hopped over time. More specifically, in the downlink, the tones assigned to each user are change relatively rapidly, e.g., from symbol to symbol, i.e., the user fast "hops" from one to ne to another. However, in the uplink, preferably slow hopping is employed to allow efficie nt modulation of the uplink signal which necessitates the employing of addition al techniques, such as interleaving, to compensate for the reduction in the intercell interference averaging effect. For data communication power control is employed in the uplink and/or downlink so that the transmission rate is increased, e.g., by increasing the number of symbols transmitted per tone per unit time or the coding rate, as a function of allocated power per tone and the corresponding channel attenuation.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system, mobile unit and base station access request and page transmissions are addressed by employing an efficient unified approach for the transmission and detection of both access requests from a mobile unit and pages from a base station. To this end, a mobile unit monitors for access requests and monitors a prescribed resource to detect if a page has been received. Upon detection of an access request, a corresponding request message is generated and transmitting substantially immediately to a base station, thereby minimizing latency in the access process. Concurrently, a base station monitors to determine if a page indication has been received and monitors a prescribed resource to determine if an access reques t message has been received. In this process, the processing of request messages takes precedence over the processing of pages. Upon detecting a received request message a request response message is generated and transmitted substantially immediately to t he mobile unit, thereby also minimizing latency in the access process.

Abstract: An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based spread spectr um multiple access system using offsetting between cells, and in particular, th e use of tone offsetting and time offsetting, is disclosed. More specifically, frequencies that define the tone set of one cell is offset from the frequencies that define the tone set of at least one adjacent cell. In other words, if a first base station is using tones F1, F2 , ..., F N within a frequency band, then a second base station adjacent to the first base statio n uses tones F1+.DELTA.f, F2+.DELTA.f ..., F N+.DELTA.f within the same frequency band. Furthermore, the symbol timing of the base-station of one cell may be offset from the symbol timing of the base-station of an adjacent cell. Thus, if a first base station starts successive symbols at times T1, T2, and T3, then a second base station adjacent to the first base station starts its respective corresponding successive symbols at times T1+.DELTA.t, T2+.DELTA.t, and T3+.DELTA.t. For example, in a cellular system with hexagonally shaped cells, the tone sets of two adjacent cells are offset by 1/3 of the spacing between adjacent tones, and the symbol timings of two adjacent cells are offset by 1/3 of a symbol period. Advantageously, the intercell interference is more uniformly distributed among users in a cell.
