Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatus for a data transmission in a communication system. SOLUTION: Methods and apparatus for a data transmission in a communication system are disclosed. Each of a subset of plural access terminals desiring to transmit user data in an interval transmits a request to transmit in the interval to an access network. The access network makes a decision to schedule at least one of the subset of the plural access terminals to transmit in the interval in accordance with the request. At least one access point of the access network transmits the decision to the plural access terminals. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method, for a data transmission in a communication system, enabling increased data throughput on the reverse link. SOLUTION: An access terminal, which desires a data transmission at a TDMA time intervals, evaluates a reverse link quality measurement criterion of the access terminal and an impatience function of the TDMA time intervals to determine an opportunity level (OL1). The access terminal estimates a data rate enabling transmission for the access terminal itself and generates a data type correspondingly thereto. The access terminal next determines whether rules for transmitting the next value on a packet preparation completed channel are satisfied. If the rules are satisfied, the access terminal communicates the required data rate and the opportunity level with time slots (n) and (n+1) on a packet request (PR) channel.

Abstract:
In a wireless communication system, an apparatus and a method are provided for controlling reverse link interference among access terminals that are power controlled by a sector of a base station. In an embodiment, the maximum effective noise power spectral density is used as a parameter for controlling the level of reverse link loading, by setting a reverse activity bit (RAB) to signal the access terminals to reduce their data rates in order to minimize interference between the access terminals if the maximum effective noise power spectral density is above a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of operating an access terminal (106) for peer-to-peer communication in a multiple-access network (100), comprising: transmitting peer-to-peer communications (110) to at least one peer access terminal (106) on a reverse link frequency of the multiple-access network (100); and receiving peer-to-peer communications (110) from at least one peer access terminal (106) on the reverse link frequency of the multiple-access network (100).
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus of dynamically setting a rise-over-thermal (ROT) threshold to control user-to-user interferences in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The ROT threshold is set by determining whether an outage of communication has occurred, increasing the ROT threshold by a predetermined increment if the outage has not occurred, and decreasing the ROT threshold by a predetermined decrement if the outage has occurred.
