Изобретение относится к системам связи. Описываются системы и методологии, которые упрощают координирование и выполнение передач во множество станций в системе беспроводной связи в течение одной возможности передачи. Обладатель возможности передачи может передавать сообщение запроса передачи или самоадресованное сообщение готовности к передаче в одну или более станций для того, чтобы устанавливать возможность передачи.

Изобретение относится к системам связи, в частности к высокоскоростной передаче данных в оборудовании беспроводной сотовой связи.

FEMTO CELL ACCESS POINT, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR

A method for configuring a transmission of data over a communication channel to or from a wireless communication unit within a femto cell comprises, at an access point for the femto cell, receiving an indication of at least one communication channel condition (CQI) from the wireless communication unit and configuring a capacity allocation (transport block size) for the transmission of data to or from the wireless communication unit based at least partly on the received indication. If the indicated communication channel condition is below a threshold level, capacity allocation is configured to be large enough to contain at least one data unit (e.g MAC-d PDU). The invention allows data transmission in an HSDPA RAB to continue in the femto cell when channel quality is low without needing to switch to a R99 packet switched RAB or stopping transmission as would be the case for a conventional macrocell scenario.

Data signal transmission during voice silence intervals in a digital mobile telephone system

When a detector 44 senses a silence interval in voice signals to be transmitted, a data signal from a data generator 48 is inserted into the silence interval for transmission. This may be done at both a mobile station (Fig. 1 or 3) and at a base station (Fig. 2 or 4), and each station on detecting the inserted data transmitted from the other station may extract the data and replace it in the forwarded voice signal with a signal corresponding to background noise or a silence state. To assess channel quality for handoff purposes, a PM pattern may be inserted in the silence intervals. If the mobile determines that the signal level received from another base station is higher than that from the present base station, it may request a handover but only if the present channel quality is below an acceptable level as evaluated from the BER in the PN data detected 52 from the present base station. A handover decision may also involve the base station determining reception level and evaluating channel ...

Channel assignment in enhanced fixed-plan mobile communications systems

In a multi-reuse level cellular communications system, a channel is assigned for use by a mobile unit by first determining whether the mobile unit is a non-enhanced mobile unit or an enhanced mobile unit.

Channel selection based on quality of signal

The invention relates to a wide personal area network (WPAN) such as Bluetooth (RTM) with a decentralised, distributed topology, e.g a piconet. Devices in the system scan and monitor the channel quality (e.g. RSSI, segment error rate, segment failure rate, carrier to interference ratio). The devices are polled to return the signal quality information. If it is determined that the quality of signal (QOS) exceeds or falls below a comparison value, a channel re-evaluation is carried out in an attempt to identify an alternative channel which is better. A switch is then made to the alternative channel. The new channel is then communicated to other devices in the network, so that all devices can hand-over and communicate on the new channel.
