Abstract: Beacons may be grouped to facilitate neighbor discovery in a wireless network. For example, neighboring access devices such as IEEE 802.11 access points may cooperate to transmit beacons in a group. In this way, a wireless device seeking to discover the neighboring access devices may scan for the beacons for a shorter period of time. An indication may be provided to enable a wireless device to more efficiently scan the beacons. For example, the indication may indicate the channel the wireless device should scan to receive the next beacon that is to be transmitted. In addition, the indication may include information relating to the transmission time of the next beacon. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate providing flow control feedback for controlling downlink data transmission rates. Various schemes can be utilized to send the flow control feedback from an access terminal to a base station. For example, a control PDU (e.g., MAC control PDU, PDCP control PDU) can be generated based upon a level of resource utilization of the access terminal, and sent to the base station for controlling the downlink data transmission rate. Following this example, a type of control PDU, a value included within the control PDU, etc. can be selected as a function of the level of resource utilization. By way of another illustration, a CQI report that includes a value selected as a function of the level of resource utilization associated with the access terminal can be generated and transmitted to the base station for controlling the downlink data transmission rate.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate processing service data units (SDU) in-order during communication handover in wireless networks. In particular, for mobile devices using re-transmission schemes, SDUs can be processed in-order by indicating to a target base station an index of a last SDU received in-order before handing off communication to the target base station. Additionally, SDUs received subsequent to one or more non-acknowledged SDUs can be forwarded to the target base station. Utilizing this information, the target base station can determine one or more SDUs the mobile device is preparing to re-transmit and can wait for this SDU before processing subsequently received SDUs. Also, a timer can be utilized to end a waiting period for the SDU.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for network selection by a mobile device that enables a network selection based, at least in part, on a network access policy that indicates use of a radio access technology (RAT) based on one or more network characteristics. The network access policy may be selectively applied based on one or more predetermined conditions, such as a time of day, mobile device location, RAT access cost, roaming status, subscription profile, and/or data usage, for example, In some examples, when the network access policy is applied, the mobile device may be configured to select from among a number of access nodes that may operate using different RATs, such as cellular access node(s) or Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) access node(s). Communications may be established with a selected access node based at least in part on network conditions such as available bandwidth for an access node.

Abstract: Techniques for admitting user equipments (UEs) to wireless systems are disclosed. UEs may be assigned priorities for admission to a given wireless system. The UEs may then be admitted to the wireless system based on the priorities of the UEs for the wireless system. In one design, a UE may be identified for admission to a first wireless system among a plurality of wireless systems. Attributes (e.g., capabilities) of the UE for the plurality of wireless systems may be determined. An admission priority of the UE for the first wireless system may be determined based on the attributes of the UE for the plurality of wireless systems. Whether to admit the UE to the first wireless system may be determined based on the admission priority of the UE for the first wireless system and possibly the current resource usage of the first wireless system.

The first radio technology is a non-WLAN radio technology, and the beacon transmission schedule is based at least in part on the timing reference. The timing reference originating from the first radio technology is identified by a Wireless Access Point (WAP). The WAP broadcasts a beacon on the WLAN according to the beacon transmission schedule.
