Abstract:
The invention provides a method for controlling pilot power within a CDMA system by either conditionally increasing or conditionally decreasing the pilot power of a cell when a transcoder loss per frame of the cell exceeds a threshold value. A cell performance matrix of the cell, and a cluster performance matrix of a cell cluster neighboring the cell are computed when a transcoder loss per frame of the cell exceeds the threshold value. The pilot power is increased when both the cell performance matrix is equal to or greater than the cluster performance matrix and the pilot power is greater than a minimum level. The pilot power is decreased when both the cell performance matrix is less than the cluster performance matrix and the pilot power is less than a maximum level.
Abstract:
During route discovery in an ad-hoc communication network, an overlay transceiver ( 104 ) determines a plurality of "seed" nodes that lie between the source and the destination node. The seed nodes are notified of the desire to discover a route between the source and the destination node. Once notified, the seed nodes immediately broadcast route discovery messages. All nodes ( 101 ) within the underlay communication system ( 110 ) periodically listen for route discovery messages. If any node within the underlay communication system ( 110 ) receives a route discovery message having the same route identification, route information between the two seeds will be provided to the overlay transceiver ( 104 ), giving the overlay communication system a "path" between the seeds. Once the overlay transceiver ( 104 ) receives route information between all seeds, it then determines an appropriate route between source and destination devices, and broadcasts this information to the source and the destination devices.
Abstract:
A registration from a subscriber is delivered to the cellular network via an ad hoc network. Based on registration information, several return paths are prepared for delivery of a page from the cellular network to the subscriber regardless of the initial or final coverage state of the subscriber and regardless of the final coverage or operational state of its assigned relays.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for scheduling resources in Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) communication networks for "direct link" or peer-to-peer communications among stations operating therein so that OFDMA resources can be allocated to a transmitter station for a peer-to-peer communication session with a receiver station such that near-far issues caused by peer-to-peer communication are reduced/avoided. The disclosed technologies can prevent peer-to-peer communication links using different sub-channels within the same time slot from creating near-far issues for other receiver stations that are within communication range.

Abstract:
Mitigation of battery consumption will occur by prioritizing those units utilized for relay purposes. The prioritization scheme favors actively transmitting units over inactive units. In yet another embodiment, those units using real-time services are prioritized over active units using non-real time services.
