Abstract:
A communication system (101) concentrates the output of variable rate transcoders (XCDRs 203, 206, 209) to realize an increase in T1 Megastream link capacity. Line interface cards (212, 213) multiplex a generic transcoder/rate adapter unit (GTRAU) format to a concentrated transcoder/rate adapter unit (CTRAU) format based on a determined rate of the data being output from the variable rate transcoders (XCDRs 203, 206, 209). An increase in T1 Megastream link capacity is realized by efficiently concentrating full, half, quarter, and eighth rate channels into a single DS0 for transmission over the T1 Megastream.s
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for use in a radio communication system having a first and second base site communication unit (116, 118) operatively coupled to a first and second transcoder (106, 108), respectively. This system also includes a mobile communication unit which is requesting to enter a linked-communication mode with the first and second base site units. In order to perform a linked-communication, a transcoder-base site interface link is established between the second base site and the second transcoder. In addition, the second transcoder is configured to operate in a bypass mode such that it relays information within the transcoder-base site interface link through a communication across regional entity (CARE)-Link in conjunction with a CARE-Control-Link between the first and second transcoder. Finally, the first transcoder is configured to operate in linked-communication mode by relaying information within the CARE-Link which is controlled by the CAREControl-Link.
Abstract:
A method for updating power control at a base transceiver station in a communication system is provided. A base transceiver station transmits a signal frame. A mobile station receives the signal frame. The mobile station determines whether the signal frame was accurately received and sets a metric bit in a quality metric. The metric bit indicates whether the signal frame was received correctly by the mobile station. The mobile station transmits the quality metric, which is received by the base transceiver station. It is then determined whether to update power control, the determination based at least in part upon the quality metric.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for backhauling data in a communication system (100). A plurality of quality metrics are received at a centralized controller (105) from a plurality of base stations (101-104). The quality metrics are related to a data frame transmitted to the base stations (101-104) from a remote unit (113). A preferred data frame is determined from among the data frames. The centralized controller (105) then signals the base station associated with the preferred data frame to send the preferred data frame to the centralized controller.

A method for updating power control at a base transceiver station in a communication system (100) is provided. A base transceiver station (104) transmits a signal frame (201). A mobile station (102) receives the signal frame (203). The mobile station (102) determines whether the signal frame was accurately received (205) and sets a metric bit in a quality metric (207, 209). The metric bit indicates whether the signal frame was received correctly by the mobile station (102). The mobile station (102) transmits the quality metric (211), which is received by the base transceiver station (104). It is then determined whether to update power control, the determination based at least in part upon the quality metric.
