  • Publication number: 20080247349
    Abstract: A method, a wireless communication system, a tangible machine-readable medium, and a communication apparatus for transmitting downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) packets based on a multi-hop relay standard are provided. The wireless communication system comprises a BS, an SS, and a plurality of RSs. The BS transmits a plurality of first downlink HARQ packets to the RSs. After receiving one of the first downlink HARQ packets, at least one of the RSs replies a first ACK to the BS and retrieves a second downlink HARQ packet in the first downlink HARQ packet. Then, the at least one of the RSs transmits the second downlink HARQ packet to the SS. And the second downlink HARQ packet is the same as a part of one of the first downlink HARQ packets.

  • Publication number: 20080084830
    Abstract: A communication apparatus, a method, and a computer readable medium for adjusting the number of communication identifications (CID) are provided. The communication apparatus comprises a database, a quality of service (QoS) scheduler, and a CID adjustment engine. The database stores first service information and second service information which respectively comprise a corresponding CID. The QoS scheduler determines whether an operating load thereof reaches to a threshold value. If yes, the CID adjustment engine unifies the CIDs of the first service information and the second service information. The QoS scheduler schedules the first service information and the second service information in response to the unified CID.

  • Publication number: 20070133494
    Abstract: A method for efficient channel access by using partial error detection code is utilized in a centralized wireless communication system. The partial error detection code is derived from the error detection codes of the transport layer to act as the reference of the error detection of a protocol data unit. This method performs a data validation test in a data-link layer. If an error is found, the proceeding data transmission will be stopped immediately to avoid unnecessary waste of the bandwidth resource of a web channel.

  • Publication number: 20070036125
    Abstract: A wireless communication system using channel access based on a contention approach and method thereof is disclosed, which allocates plural sets of time slots in a predetermined contention interval, wherein each set of time slots further includes plural adjacent overlapped time slots. A channel requester transmits a contention message to a channel allocator at a time slot based on an interleaved method after the channel requester completes count down of a predetermined time, so that the positions of the headers of the contention messages in the adjacent time slots of each set of time slot are different. Thus, if the contention message transmitted by the channel requester collides with the contention message of the adjacent time slot, the channel allocator can parse the headers of the collided contention messages and respectively allocate plural special channel times for communicating with the channel requesters.
