Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To more efficiently use a communication link between elements in a communication system. SOLUTION: During a silent period, a message containing comfortable noises is not transmitted but a message instructing the generating of comfortable noises to the element is transmitted so that the communication link between the elements in the communication system can be more efficiently used. The message instructing the generation of comfortable noises to the element is smaller than the message containing comfortable noises. As a result, the message for generating comfortable noises or command is transmitted rather than the message containing comfortable noises so that the bandwidth of the link between communication system elements can be more efficiently used.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method that may be used for billing for quality of service applications. The method includes determining at least one parameter indicative of resource usage of at least one first quality of service application by comparing at least one resource used by the first quality of service application(s) to at least one resource used by a second quality of service application. The method also includes providing information indicative of at least one cost associated with the first quality of service application(s) based on the comparison and at least one cost associated with the second quality of service application.
Abstract:
At least a portion of a total spectrum bandwidth of a wireless system may be allocated to each of a plurality of users by assigning at least one unique spreading code to each of the plurality of users. At least two of the plurality of users may have different spectrum capabilities and may transmit simultaneously. Each of the assigned spreading codes may have a different code length. The number and/or the code length of the spreading codes assigned to each user may be indicative of a portion of the total spectrum bandwidth allocated to each user.
Abstract:
In the method, an overload control threshold is adjusted based on at least one outage metric (S10,S16) and an overload control history (S12). Overload control is performed based on the overload control threshold.
Abstract:
A method for determining rise over thermal for a base station in a wireless communications system is provided. The method comprises receiving a first and second diversity signal, measuring the signal strength of the first and second diversity signals, and estimating the noise floor for the first and second diversity signals. The signal strength rise is determined for the first and second diversity signals based on the measured signal strength and estimated noise floor of the first and second diversity signals respectively. The rise over thermal is then determined based on the determined signal strength rise of the first and second diversity signals.

Abstract:
La presente invención proporciona un método para controlar mensajes de respuesta de unidad móvil. Una modalidad del método incluye proporcionar, a una unidad móvil, al menos un mensaje que incluye información indicativa de al menos un parámetro para configurar al menos una respuesta al menos a un mensaje para transmisión en un canal de acceso.
Abstract:
A method is provided for sending messages to a plurality of access terminals in a wireless network. The method comprises broadcasting a multicast message along with a predetermined address associated with the plurality of access terminals. The multicast message and the address associated with a plurality of access terminals is received at an access terminal. The access terminal compares the received address with a locally stored address, and the message is accepted in response to the received and locally stored addresses being the same. If the received and locally stored addresses are different, then the multicast message is discarded.
