    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a call blockade start method in call reception control in a radio system. SOLUTION: In a method for starting call blockade in response to a pilot fraction as a call quality measurement value in a base station 200 in a radio system, a sampling square integral circuit 202 obtains a power level based on a current time length, a sampling square integral circuit 204 obtains a power level of a pilot based on the current time length and the both the power levels are fed to a 1st averaging element 210. The 1st averaging element 210 decides a mean pilot fraction based on the current time length from both the power levels. The comparator 220 compares the mean pilot fraction and a pilot fraction blockage threshold value and a controller 240 uses a call reception program to start call blockade in response to the case that the mean pilot fraction is smaller than the pilot fracture blockage threshold value. A frame error rate may be used in place of the pilot fraction for a call quality measurement value.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an accurate index of link balance at a low cost without the need for time-consuming re-configuration of the system. SOLUTION: In this measurement method, a test setup 30 that simulates many system configurations measures link performance of a CDMA(code division multiple access) personal communication system, a cellular system or other type of radio system. The measurement device includes a 1st attenuator that is placed in a common part of a reception line and a transmission line of a mobile station 32 that is moved in any system and a 2nd attenuator that is placed to either of a reception dedicated part of the reception line and a transmission dedicated part of the transmission line. The attenuation given by the 1st and 2nd attenuators is separated so as to introduce a different attenuation to the transmission line and the reception line, and the performance of a forward link and a reverse link of the system is measured while changing at least one attenuation of the 1st and 2nd attenuates, Since the configuration can separate the attenuation in the reverse link, the link balance state is efficiently and accurately decided.

    Abstract: A system and a method for reverse link power control in a wireless communications network generates power adjust commands for mobiles being served by a network base station in a centralized manner by considering overall system performance when an increased interference condition is detected. In one implementation, a base station power control processor adopts a modified reverse inner loop power control (RILPC) and/or a reverse outer loop power control (ROLPC) algorithm when an increased interference condition is detected. According to the modified RILPC algorithm, a percentage of power-up adjust commands which would normally be generated when Eb/No measurements for served mobiles do not meet target Eb/No levels are converted to power down-adjust commands, thereby forcing some mobiles to reduce transmit power, at least temporarily, to constrain interference. When the increased interference condition persists, the percentage of power-up adjust commands which are converted to power-down commands may be changed. According to the modified ROLPC algorithm, the power control processor adjusts target Eb/No levels in a centralized manner based on an overall system state so that only a limited number of target Eb/No levels are allowed to increase when frame erasures occur. By preventing a percentage of target Eb/No level increases, at least temporarily, when frame erasures occur, a percentage of power up-adjust commands are avoided. Therefore, a similar effect to that achieved by the modified RILPC is achieved. In accordance with still a further implementation of the present invention, the modified RILPC algorithm may be used in combination with the modified ROLPC algorithm to provide greater resistance to increased interference conditions.

    Abstract: A set of N random numbers is generated with each number corresponding to a channel number and the numbers are partitioned into sectors, each corresponding to a geographical region served by one base station, before channels are assigned to each base station according to the partitioned set of numbers. If there are two channel numbers in any sector whose difference is equal to or less than a predetermined number n, they are separated into different sectors. An independent claim is included for apparatus for assigning N frequency channels for use by base stations.

    Abstract: Link performance is measured in a code division multiple access (CDMA) personal communication service (PCS) or cellular system, or other type of wireless system, using a test set-up (30) which permits the simulation of various changes in system configuration. An illustrative embodiment includes a first attenuator (36) arranged in a common portion of a receive path and a transmit path of a mobile station (32) of the system, and a second attenuator (40) arranged in either a receive-only portion of the receive path or a transmit-only portion of the transmit path. The amounts of attenuation provided by the first and second attenuators are decoupled such that a different amount of attenuation can be provided on the transmit path than on the receive path. Performance of forward and reverse links of the system are measured while varying a value of at least one of the first or second attenuators. For a given measurement, the attenuator values may be selected to simulate performance of the system in a configuration in which base station amplifier power is increased or decreased. As another example, the attenuator values may be selected to simulate performance of the system in a configuration in which cell size is increased. This arrangement of decoupled forward and reverse link attenuation in accordance with the invention permits efficient and accurate determination of link balance conditions.

    Abstract: A method that initiates call blocking responsive to a call-quality measureme nt of the forward link. The call-quality measurement is a measurement of how well a mobile terminal is able to receive the forward link. One call-quality measurement is a pilot fraction of the forward link, which is a ratio of the pilot's power level to the power level of a se t of forward-link signals of a base station. Call blocking is initiated when an average pilot fraction is below a pilot-fraction blocking threshold. The pilot's power level is obtained for a time period, a nd the signal set's power level is obtained for the same time period. The pilot fraction i s determined for the time period, and then used to determine the average pilot fraction for the time period. The average pilot fraction for the current time period is based on a pilot fraction for the current time period, and an average pilot fraction for a previous time period. When the average pilot fraction is below the pilot-fraction blocking threshold, call blocking is initiated. The pilot-fraction blocking threshold is preferably based on: 1) the pilot fraction when the ba se station is at full load; 2) the size, shape, and terrain of the cell; and 3) the aggressiveness of the overload control. In the preferred embodiment, the signal set includes allof the signals generated by the base station, alternatively, the signal set can include fewer than all the signal s generated by the base station. If the cell includes several sectors, the call blocking is initiate d on a sector basis when the average pilot fraction of the sector is below the pilot-fraction blockin g threshold. Other call-quality measurements, such as the forward link's frame error rate, the number of dropped calls, or the Power Measurement Report Message (PMRM), can be used, alone or in combination, instead of or in addition to the pilot fraction of the forward link to determine whether call blocking should be initiated. Determining whether call blocking should be initiated using one of the other call-quality measurements is performed in a similar manner as for the pilot fraction. Initiating call blocking using several call-quality measurements involves initiating call blocking when any one of the call-quality measurements indicates that call blocking should be initiated. Alternatively, call blocking can be initiated when several of the call quali ty measurements indicate that call blocking should be initiated.
