Abstract:
Methods and systems or broadcasting the fast power control message in wireless communications systems are provided. In certain embodiments, the methods and systems can include receiving Carrier to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (CINR) values from multiple mobile stations, determining a power adjustment value for each mobile station based on the CINR values, grouping the mobile stations based at least on the CINR values, and transmitting a fast power control message for each group with a different number of repetitions.
Abstract:
Techniques presented herein allow connections with different (albeit possibly similar) scheduling or data delivery services to be aggregated (or bundled) into groups, with each group assigned a common Power Savings Class Type. Bundling different connections into common PSC types may reduce the overall number of different sleep windows for active connections, which may help reduce overall power consumption. For example, by automatically activating different PSC types (for different bundles of connections), the reduced number of sleep windows may overlap in a manner that results in the MS spending more overall time in a low power state than when conventional unbundled PSC schemes are utilized.
