The plurality of physical resource blocks includes a first group of physical resource blocks that all have a first constant allowed capacity. Sizes and modulation orders of respective physical resource blocks in the first group vary as defined by a first modulation profile. The data in the first group are received from one or more CNUs that are assigned the first modulation profile.

Abstract: The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for identifying an access point (AP) for selection by an access terminal (AT). For example, the method may include receiving a probe request by one or more APs from an AT, wherein the probe request is broadcasted by the AT to the one or more APs, generating load information and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) values of the probe request at the one or more APs, identifying an AP of the one or more APs for selection by the AT, wherein the AP for selection by the AT is identified by the one or more APs based at least on the load information and RSSI values generated at the one or more APs, and transmitting information of an AP identified by the one or more APs to the AT. As such, an improved mechanism for selecting an access point may be achieved.

Abstract: In a method of scheduling frames, a first channel of a plurality of channels is selected for a first frame. The first frame is sent across a media-independent interface to a physical-layer device for transmission on the first channel. A data rate of the media-independent interface is greater than a data rate of the physical-layer device for the first channel. After the first frame is sent across the media-independent interface, subsequent sending of frames for the first channel across the media-independent interface is disabled for a period of time that is based at least in part on rate adaption from the data rate of the media-independent interface to the data rate of the physical-layer device for the first channel.
