Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for operating a large number of transmission devices in a radio communication system. SOLUTION: The method includes: segmenting usable system resources into a plurality of channels; defining a reuse scheme including a plurality of cells for the communication system; determining one or more characteristics for each of the cells in the reuse scheme; allocating a combination of channels to each of cells in the reuse scheme on the basis of one or more characteristics for which at least a cell is partially decided; and repeating decision and allocation in order to reflect the change in the communication system. The cells in the reuse scheme are each allocated with the channels of each set for transmission at a full power level. The cells in the reuse scheme are each allocated with channels of each set including one or more channels usable for transmission at a full power level and one or more channels usable for transmission at a reduce power level.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for transmitting data to a plurality of receivers in a communication system. SOLUTION: The method includes: updating a parameter of a first set used for schedule of data transmission; deciding the priority of the data transmission; allocating data transmission to respective usable channel based in part on at least the priority of the data transmission; updating a parameter of a second set used for transmission of the data transmission; and transmitting the data to a plurality of receivers at a channel allocated by using a second set of the updated parameter. The parameter of first set is a channel occupation possibility, a load possibility, a carrier to interference plus noise (C/I) of the receiver or back-off-factors, or a combination of the above. Deciding the priority includes an operation of calculating the amount of channel of channel usable by each receiver by using the updated parameter of the first set. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for scheduling transmit rates and power levels for data in conjunction with a voice-data communication during conditions of soft and softer handoff. During conditions of no handoff, or hard handoff, an algorithm selects a slot reflecting a favored power level and transmission rate for transmitting the non-voice data on a supplemental channel. The slot is selected based upon the transmission power levels for voice-data transmitted by a base station to a remote station on a fundamental channel. The algorithm applies to softer handoff using information from all the sectors of a base station involved in the softer handoff. During soft handoff, instead of scheduling forward link transmission based on recent power and rate, or C/I information, data is continuously transmitted to the user at a power level based on average required power.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for transmitting a signal at a predetermined level of reliability using retransmission of erroneously transmitted frames so as to minimize total transmission energy. The transmitting station evaluates the frame error rate (FER) as a function of energy. Next, the transmitting station determines a combination of initial transmission energies and retransmission energies that will provide the target level of reliability while minimizing the total transmission energy employed in the initial transmission and the retransmissions. The transmitting station transmits a frame with an initial transmission energy. Employing conventional feedback methods the transmitting station is alerted to the occurrence of frame errors at the receiving station. The transmitting station upon notification of a frame error retransmits the frame with an energy determined to minimize the total energy required to transmit the frame with a predetermined level of reliability.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for congestion control in a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, the status of a congestion bit indicates the type of adjustment, such as increase or decrease, to be performed at an access terminal to determine the next data rate for transmissions on the reverse link. The status of the congestion bit is determined by comparing a congestion parameter to a predetermined threshold (186). One embodiment implements an outerloop threshold having a margin with respect to the desired congestion metric threshold. The outerloopthreshold is adjusted in response to comparing a measured congestion metric to the desired threshold (192, 194, 196). The outerloop threshold adjustment maintains the congestion metric to within a predetermined probability of exceeding the desired threshold.
