Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for quick retransmission of signals in a communication system.SOLUTION: A transmitting terminal transmits signals in a form of packets to a receiving terminal, if the packet is intended for the receiving terminal, if so, the receiving terminal demodulates the packet. The receiving terminal then computes a quality metric of the packet, and compares the computed quality metric with a quality metric contained in the packet. If the quality metrics match, the packet is forwarded for further processing. If the quality metrics fail to match, the receiving terminal sends a request for retransmission of the packet. The transmitting terminal determines which packet needs to be retransmitted based on the request for retransmission. If delivery of the packet in accordance with the description fails, retransmission in accordance with a conventional sequence-number-based scheme, e.g., radio link protocol, is attempted.

SOLUTION: In a multiple-access network, network access terminals 106 can communicate with network infrastructure access nodes 104, or conduct peer-to-peer communications 110. The access terminals are adapted to adjust the transmit power level in response to power control commands received from the network and from at least one access terminal. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide cooperative, autonomous and scheduled resource allocation for a distributed communication system.SOLUTION: There is implemented a method of determining whether a current power allocation grant 1374 for a flow on an access terminal has been received from an access network. If the current power allocation grant 1374 is still active, a current power allocation 1338a for the flow is set equal to the current power allocation grant 1374. If the current power allocation grant 1374 has not been received, the current power allocation 1338a for the flow is determined.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operation of a media access control (MAC) layer of an access terminal. SOLUTION: An access terminal includes: a transmitter that transmits a reverse traffic channel to an access network; an antenna that receives a signal from the access network; a processor that performs electronic communication with a processor; and a memory. An instruction stored in the memory determines whether the current electric power allocation permission 1374 in a flow of the access terminal is the one received from the access network or not. If the current electric power allocation permission 1374 is still active, the current electric power allocation 1338a for the flow is set equally to the current electric power allocation permission 1374. If the current electric power allocation permission 1374 is not received yet, the current electric power allocation 1338a for the flow is decided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operation of a MAC layer of an access terminal. SOLUTION: The access terminal is configured for wireless communication with an access network within a sector. The access terminal includes a transmitter 2608 for transmitting a reverse traffic channel to the access network, an antenna 2614 for receiving signals from the access network, and a processor 2602 and memory 2604 in electronic communication with the processor 2602. Instructions are stored in a memory 2604. The instructions are arranged to estimate the current value of the reverse activity bit transmitted from the access network. The allocation of electric power for the flow may be increased or decreased based on the estimated current value of the reverse activity bit. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of reverse link (RL) data rate allocation in a high data rate system such as 1xEV-DO. SOLUTION: Rate shaping of a throughput profile for multiple access terminals (ATs) is performed by adjusting transition probabilities associated with a data rate allocation algorithm. The RL maximum data rate per AT is adjusted to reduce the loading in a designated area and result in rate shaping of the cell and/or sector. The maximum data rates are adjusted as a function of the FL signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR), such as measured per serving sector or as a captured sum total of FL SINR. Further, the maximum data rates are adjusted as a function of differences in rise over thermal values between neighboring sectors. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus of forward direction output control in communication system. SOLUTION: In a data communication system capable of performing variable rate transmission, a data rate is decided by performing the maximum C/I observation of a forward direction link signal so as to be observed in an access terminal 6. Data transmission is planned based on the access terminal 6 which have begun the forward direction output control. The forward direction output control decreases quantization loss of a forward direction link rate caused by excess transmission output. The access terminal 6 reports excess C/I estimation relating to a selected rate to an access point 4. Then the access point 4 decreases its self transmission output by a proper amount when operating the access terminal 6. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
