摘要:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for calculating a target connection frame number (CFN) for a data frame in wireless communications. An update to an offset between the CFN and a radio access network frame number is computed. A target CFN variable is incremented in response to a received timer signal. The value of an update variable is checked to determine whether a new value of the offset has been received since a previous update to the offset. A new target CFN is calculated using a current target CFN and the new value of the offset on a condition that the new value of the offset has been received. The current target CFN is set equal to the new target CFN.

A method for transmitting a data frame in a wireless communication system begins by creating a time of arrival (TOA) window, including a window start (WS) and a window end (WE). The TOA of the data frame at the air interface for transmission is determined, and further action is taken depending upon when the data frame arrives relative to the TOA window. The data frame is buffered if the TOA is before the WS. The data frame is transmitted if the TOA is within the TOA window. The data frame is discarded if the TOA is after the WE.

Circuit switched fallback (CSFB) requests may be managed. A mobile management entity (MME) can detect one or more pending CSFB requests. In response to detecting the pending CSFB request(s), the MME can generate a message that indicates the one or more pending CSFB requests, and can communicate the message to one of a mobile switching center (MSC) and a virtual location register (VLR).
摘要:
In a wireless communication system using a reference channel used for error rate measurement and associated with a plurality of transport channels multiplexed on a coded composite transport channel (CCTrCH), a method is employed for reselection of the reference channel from favorable candidate transport channels. A channel is initially selected from the plurality of multiplexed channels as the reference channel. Channels are monitored based on quantitative data content criteria to determine whether an ON or OFF state exists. A different channel is selected from the plurality of multiplexed channels as the reselected RTrCH when a better candidate transport channel in the ON state becomes available, or when the monitored RTrCH reflects an OFF state.

摘要:
A method and apparatus is provided for reducing block error rate (BLER) estimate reporting to conserve system resources, while eliminating reports of BLER estimates unlikely to require an adjustment to target signal to interference ratio (SIR). A plurality of data blocks is received over a transmission time interval and the count of data blocks is stored in memory. The data blocks are error checked by an error check unit and the number of erroneous data blocks is stored in memory. A processor performs a BLER estimate calculation based on the data block count and erroneous data block count. A BLER estimate report is produced and sent for target SIR adjustment if triggered by threshold comparisons performed by the processor, including the data block count value compared to a predetermined threshold, and the BLER estimate value compared to a predetermined multiple of the target BLER value.
摘要:
The present invention is related to the software architecture and supporting application programming interface (API) that enable operating system (OS) independence and platform independence of a mobility enabled system architecture (MESA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The present invention provides a system for supporting portable and modular software implementation in different platforms in a WLAN node. The node includes a control plane configured to implement a control plane algorithm while interacting with a medium access control (MAC) driver, a data plane configured to implement a data plane algorithm while interacting with the MAC driver and, an operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) handler task configured to interact with the OAM agent. APIs are provided to enable interaction with external modules regardless of the differences of OS, specificity of OAM agent implementation and AP platform differences.
