摘要:
An active set of base stations may be controlled based on whether data is unavailable at base stations within the active set. The base station may transmit an indicator indicating whether data is unavailable at the base station and/or a mobile station may monitor a channel characteristic of at least a portion of a channel between the base station and the mobile station.

A method for operating a communications arrangement comprising femto cells includes opportunistic use of the spectrum by a femto cell. The method may involve multi-operator spectrum re-use and/or multi-service spectrum re-use. The femto cell may use parts of the spectrum when they are not used by primary license holders. A femto base station 12 includes a spectrum decision unit 20 for using information about primary usage to determine operation of the femto base station 12 to achieve opportunistic re-use.

The invention includes methods and apparatuses for supporting mobility management and packet routing in ad hoc wireless networks. A method for mobility management includes detecting, at a first base station, a request by a wireless device to establish an association with the first base station where the first base station comprises a mobile base station, updating an association table of the first base station to include an association of the wireless device to the first base station, and propagating, toward a second base station, a message adapted to update an association table of the second base station, wherein the second base station is a mobile base station, wherein the message is propagated toward the second base station wirelessly. The packet routing functions of the present invention may be used independent of, or in conjunction with, the mobility management functions of the present invention.

摘要:
The present disclosure generally discloses a hybrid wireless communication system configured to support wireless broadband connectivity for a geographic region including a set of wireless network access devices configured to support wireless communications by a set of communication gateways disposed at locations within the geographic region. The hybrid wireless communication system may be configured to operate across a set of multiple radio spectrum bands associated with a set of multiple carrier frequencies, respectively. The hybrid wireless communication system may be configured to jointly determine assignment of the locations (and, thus, the associated communication gateways) to the multiple carrier frequencies of the multiple radio spectrum bands and to configure the wireless network access devices to support the jointly determined assignment of the locations to the multiple carrier frequencies of the multiple radio spectrum bands.
摘要:
The invention includes a method and apparatus for activating a base station. A method includes transitioning the base station to a first state in which at least one base station activation activity is performed and RF transmissions are disabled, and transitioning the base station from the first state to a second state in which RF transmissions are enabled. The at least one base station activation activity may include at least one of warming at least one power amplifier, setting at least one base station configuration parameter, establishing GPS synchronization, and other base station activation activities. The base station may transition from the first state to the second state in response to a trigger.

Spatial Division Multiple Access (SDMA) may be implemented in both the forward and reverse link directions through the use of, for example, a sector-wide primary pilot channel and one or more beamformed secondary pilot channels (secondary pilot channel).
摘要:
Method and apparatus for validating location information associated with an access point (AP) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) by subjecting neighborhood node proximity information retrieved from an AP and neighborhood node location information retrieved from a database to a likelihood ratio tests (LRT). The neighborhood node proximity information retrieved from an AP comprises a list of nodes exhibiting at the AP a signal strength above a threshold level T, or link quality information associated with those nodes having a signal received by the AP.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to communication systems. Such communication systems may include a beamformer that is adapted to provide a plurality of beams, each of the plurality of beams providing communication for a corresponding coverage envelope, the plurality of coverage envelopes comprising at least one pair of overlapping coverage envelopes and at least one pair of non-overlapping coverage envelopes, and a scheduler that assigns system resources from a group of shared system resources to a plurality of receivers distributed throughout the coverage envelopes, the scheduler being adapted to assign the same system resources from the group of shared system resources for use during a simultaneous data transmission to a receiver in each of the coverage envelopes that comprises the at least one pair of non-overlapping coverage envelopes.
