Abstract:
A method for intra-user quality of service (QoS) uplink scheduling may include determining scheduling types associated with active uplink connections that are maintained by the subscriber station. The method may also include determining QoS parameters corresponding to the different scheduling types. The method may also include scheduling the active uplink connections for uplink transmissions based on the different scheduling types and their corresponding QoS parameters.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure allow a HARQ transmitter to provide a receiver an indication of the protocol data units (PDUs) that should not be expected because they are part of a data burst that has been retransmitted a maximum allowable number of times. The indication message may contain a maximum serial number contained in the data burst that has reached the maximum number of retransmissions, or the serial number of a first PDU in the next data burst.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for supporting multicast and broadcast services (MBS) with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capabilities. This can be achieved by adding specific MIMO information into existing MBS-MAP messages while providing backward compatibility.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments provide techniques and apparatus that may allow for improvements in performance and power consumption in sleep and idle mode through fast DL and UL synchronization for wireless communications systems, such as Mobile WiMAX Systems. In one aspect, a first downlink channel descriptor, (DCD), message is received with a first set of parameters (702a) If said parameters do not match (706a) with DL-MAP information indicating pending downlink data the base station is notified (708A) and a second DCD message is received (710A). In a second aspect, availability of a mobile station in low power state is tracked (902), and it is determined if the mobile station has received a current set of DCD parameters (904). If not,. second information is sent containing a second DCD message (906), or data employing a default set of DCD parameters.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for determining an accurate fractional carrier frequency offset (CFO) adjustment in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) or orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system in an effort to properly compensate for the actual CFO between a transmitter and a receiver are provided. This enhanced fractional CFO adjustment may be based on a history of estimated fractional CFOs and estimated carrier-to-interference-plus-noise ratios (CINRs) and may be statistically derived from this history, therefore leading to a more accurate fractional CFO adjustment when compared to conventional fractional CFO estimations. A more accurate fractional CFO adjustment may lead to increased physical layer performance and decreased decoding errors (i.e., lower bit error ratio, or BER).
