Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for adaptive server selection in a wireless communication. SOLUTION: An access terminal may be configured to determine a forward link quality metric associated with each of a plurality of sectors serviced by a plurality of access points; assign credits to each sector in relation to the forward link quality metric; and change a data source control (DSC) value if the credits accumulated for a non-serving sector at a DSC change boundary is greater than a predetermined threshold, where the non-serving sector and the serving sector for the access terminal belong to different cells. The access terminal may be further configured to change a data rate control (DRC) cover in accordance with the DSC change. The use of DSC may provide an early indication of handoff, thereby allowing the service outage associated with server switching to be substantially reduced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for efficient use of communication resources in a data communication system under an overload condition. SOLUTION: In a communication system (1400) for communication of data, this method and this apparatus are configured to detect a request for opening a connection for a user (1407) for communication of data, select an open connection, release the selected open connection, and allocate, to the user (1407), communication resources corresponding to resources released based on releasing the selected open connection. In accordance with an embodiment, the selected open connection is in an idle open state. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a user to access to a network, even if a use of communication resources reaches an over-congested level, due to the efficient use of the communication resources in a communication system under overloaded condition. SOLUTION: This method and device in the communication system for data communication comprises detecting a demand for opening a connection for the user for the data communication, selecting an open connection, releasing the selected open connection, and allocating to the user communication resources corresponding to a resource released, based on the release of the selected open connection. According to one embodiment, the selected open connection is in an idle open state. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique and an apparatus for testing performance of terminals and access points in CDMA data system. SOLUTION: The framework comprises a Forward Test Application Protocol (FTAP) for testing forward channels and a Reverse Test Application Protocol (RTAP) for testing reverse channels. Techniques are also provided to (1) test different types of channels (e.g., traffic channels as well as auxiliary channels), (2) test bursty data transmissions, (3) support "persistence" testing (i.e., continued testing over connection and disconnection), (4) force the settings of certain auxiliary channels (e.g., so that the error rate of the channels may be determined), and (5) collect, log, and report various statistics that may be used to derive performance metrics such as throughput and packet error rate.

An access terminal may be configured to determine a forward link quality metric associated with eac h of a plurality of sectors serviced by a plurality of access points; assign credits to each sector in relation to the forward link quality metric; and change a data source control (DSC) value if the credits accumulated for a no n- serving sector at a DSC change boundary is greater than a predetermined threshold, where the non-serving sector and the serving sector for the acces s terminal belong to different cells. The access terminal may be further configured to change a data rate control (DRC) cover in accordance with the DSC change. The use of DSC may provide an early indication of handoff, there by allowing the service outage associated with server switching to be substantially reduced.
Abstract:
Method and System for Utilization of an Outer Decoder in a Broadcast Services Communication System is described. Information to be transmitted is provided to a systematic portion of a plurality of transmit buffers and encoded by an outer decoder communicatively coupled to the transmit buffer. The resulting redundant bits are provided to a parity portion of each transmit buffer. The content of the transmit buffers, is multiplexed and encoded by an inner decoder to improve protection by adding redundancy. The receiving station recovers the transmitted information by an inverse process. Because a decoding complexity depends on the size of a systematic portion of the transmit buffer, reasoned compromise between a systematic portion size and number of transmit buffers yields decreased decoding complexity.
Abstract:
Micro-tunnels are used to provide multiple data service sessions to the same mobile node in a wireless communications system. Further, the flexibility of the micro-tunnels optimizes the resources of the system. On request for a data service, an encapsulation configuration record is generated. An encapsulation header is created in response to the encapsulation configuration. The encapsulation header includes a packet service identifier and a micro-tunnel identifier.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for allocating and using a finite resource to transmit wireless information signals to a plurality of subscriber units is disclosed. Individual subscriber units transmit data rate requests to serving base stations. The data rate requests and weight values associated with each subscriber unit are compared (758) in order to select a subscriber unit as the recipient of data transmitted through the finite resource at any given time. To maximize throughput without starving any single subscriber unit, the method includes calculation and comparison of a desirability metric (766) in choosing a subscriber unit from among a subset of the plurality of subscriber units having comparable weight values.
