Abstract:
In a wireless data network, such as a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network, a transmitter uses one of k coding/modulation schemes for transmitting data. The transmitter initially selects a coding/modulation scheme, C , as a function of carrier-to-interference ratio ( C / I ) measurements. The transmitter then calculates the number of blocks, B , required to transmit a number of data packets, D , using the coding/modulation scheme C . In addition, the transmitter calculates the number of blocks required to transmit the number of data packets, D , for each coding/modulation scheme that is stronger than the selected coding/modulation scheme C . The transmitter finally selects that coding/modulation scheme that results in transmitting the number of data packets D in B blocks using the strongest coding/modulation scheme. As a result, each block is transmitted using the strongest coding/modulation scheme available.
Abstract:
A route optimization technique in a GPRS network includes establishing a gateway GPRS support node in a visiting public land mobile network in which a roaming mobile station is currently located. Specifically, a tunnel is formed between the gateway GPRS support node and a serving GPRS support node to which the mobile station is in direct communication over a radio link. In this manner, external corresponding hosts may route packets to the gateway GPRS support node, rather than the GPRS support node in the mobile station's home public mobile network, as is done in conventional GPRS networks. Advantageously, a shorter path is established for transfer of packets between a mobile station and a corresponding host. A similar route optimization technique is provided in a CDPD network, wherein a home mobile data-intermediate system node (local HMD-IS) in the foreign (visiting) network serves as a gateway node to the roaming mobile-end system.
