  • Patent number: 8254941
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for renewal-based resource allocation in a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) system are provided. A Base Station (BS) allocates resources to a Mobile Station (MS) by resource allocation information. It is determined whether the MS requires continuous resource allocation or whether the MS does not have transmission data temporarily, when a resource allocation duration for downlink resources allocated to the MS has expired. One of resource allocation termination, resource allocation renewal, and temporary resource lending to another MS is performed according to the determination. Information for updating the resource allocation information is transmitted to the MS.

  • Patent number: 8254428
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving pilot symbols for demodulation of control channel information in the uplink of a wireless communication system are provided. When an Evolved Node B (ENB) expects to receive both the Channel Quality Information (CQI) and the Acknowledgement (ACK)/Negative ACK (NACK) from a User Equipment (UE) in a certain subframe, if the UE transmits only the CQI channel, the ENB is prevented to detect the nonexistent ACK/NACK information from the CQI channel, thereby avoiding false alarm.

  • Patent number: 8254314
    Abstract: Provided is a device and method for scheduling uplink resources in a wireless communication system supporting VoIP. When its data rate is decreased, an MS notifies a BS of the rate decreased. When increasing its data rate, the MS requests resource allocation to the BS by transmitting a BR header or a CQICH codeword. Compared to the conventional ertPS in which the BS periodically allocates uplink resources to the MS irrespective of the state of the MS, the BS does not allocate uplink resources when the MS transitions form a talk-spurt period to a silence period. Therefore, resources consumption arising from unnecessary bandwidth allocation is reduced.

  • Patent number: 8249040
    Abstract: In a transmission device and method for a CDMA communication system, when a shorter frame message is generated during transmission of a longer frame message, the transmission of the longer frame message is interrupted, whereupon the shorter frame message is immediately transmitted in place of a portion of the longer frame message. In one embodiment, after the longer frame message is interrupted and the shorter frame message is transmitted, only the tail portion of the longer frame message is transmitted thereafter. That is, the replaced portion of the longer frame message is not transmitted following the shorter frame message transmission. In an alternative embodiment, following the shorter frame message transmission, the remainder of the longer frame message, from the point of interruption, is transmitted in its entirety. In the latter case, the longer frame message is delayed by the length of the shorter frame message.
