Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform transmitting power control while efficiently estimating signal-to-noise ratios of a received signal irrespective of intentional adjustments to transmitting power due to fluctuating data rates. SOLUTION: The variation in power due to the change in data rate is decoupled from environmental sources for variations in power. The signal to noise ratio is adjusted for the data rate. The received signal power for another data rate is used as an offset for the signal to noise computation. This permits a system to efficiently and accurately control power in a power control loop for efficient use of spectral bandwidth and for improved grade of service. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for efficiently estimating the signal-to-noise ratio of a received signal irrespective of intentional adjustment to transmission power by varying the data rate.SOLUTION: Variation in power due to variation in the data rate is decoupled from environmental sources for variation in power. In one embodiment, the signal-to-noise ratio is adjusted for the data rate. In another embodiment, another signal is used as a reference for the signal-to-noise computation. This advantageously permits a system to efficiently and accurately control power in a power control loop for efficient use of spectral bandwidth and for relatively good grade of service.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for controlling data rate of reverse link communications in a communication system.SOLUTION: An efficient use of communication resources is provided by determining behavior for selecting a payload size (data rate) of a reverse link transmission. A mobile station can store a predetermined table including a ratio of power levels of a traffic channel and a pilot channel (TPR), where each entry corresponds to the size of data payload, and consequently to the data rate for transmission in a predetermined time frame. The payload size is selected based on an authorized-TPR. The authorized-TPR and a target-TPR are adjusted in accordance with TPR commands received from a base station. A fast-ramp-up behavior for adjusting the authorized-TPR is performed when the authorized-TPR is less than the target-TPR. A down TPR command is ignored in the adjustments of the authorized-TPR during the fast-ramp-up mode.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make an efficient use of communication resource in data rate control of reverse link communication in a communicating system. SOLUTION: The communication system includes determining movement for choosing payload size (data rate) of reverse link transfer from a mobile station to a base station. The mobile station can store a predetermined table containing a power level ratio (TPR) of traffic channel and pilot channel, and each entry corresponds to the size of data payload, and namely as a result corresponds to a transfer data rate in the predetermined time frame. The payload size is chosen based on the permitted -TPR. The permitted -TPR and a target -TPR are adjusted according to a TPR command received from a base station. When the permitted -TPR is smaller than the target -TPR, fast-ramp-up adjustment of the permitted -TPR is performed. In the fast-ramp-up mode, a down TPR command is ignored in the adjustment of the permitted -TPR. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for high rate packet data and low delay data transmissions.SOLUTION: There is provided a method for combination of packet data and low delay data transmissions in a wireless communication system (50). In one embodiment, a parallel signaling channel provides a message to receivers (56, 58, 60) indicating a target recipient of packet data. The message also identifies the transmission channels used for packet data transmissions. Each receiver then selectively decodes only packets where the message identifies the receiver as a target recipient. The data packets stored in a buffer are ignored if the target recipient is another mobile unit. In one embodiment, the message is sent concurrently with the data packet on a parallel channel. In one embodiment, the message is punctured into the high rate packet data transmission.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for improved margin control in a data communication system. SOLUTION: In one aspect, a margin is adjusted in response to a first subpacket error rate (715) to (735). In another aspect, the margin is further adjusted in response to an overall packet error rate. In yet another aspect, the first subpacket error rate is adjusted in response to an overall packet error rate. These aspects have the benefit of responsive margin control when the overall packet error rate is relatively low, resulting in improved data throughput and increased system capacity.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which at least one bit rate for allocating network resources from a broadcast-multicast service center (BM-SC) is received. The network resources are then allocated based on the at least one bit rate. Moreover, all evolved Node Bs (eNBs) in a broadcast/multicast area are informed of the network resource allocation. Additionally, the network resources are allocated for a session based on a first bit rate, wherein the first bit rate is greater than a guaranteed bit rate (GBR), and the network resource allocation is adjusted to a second bit rate based on the occurrence of an event, wherein the second bit rate is equal to GBR.
