Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a mobility factor is used to influence handoff. If a subscriber station has been in a low mobility state for some period of time, the system may handoff operation from a first service type to a second service type. If the mobility factor indicates that the subscriber station is moving, the system may handoff operation from the second service type back to the first service type.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus for closed loop operation of a wireless system implementing multiple input multiple output (MIMO). In one aspect, there is provided a method. The method may include receiving a payload including channel estimation information. Moreover, one or more bits of the payload may be inserted into a subset of the tiles of a slot. The slot including the subset of the tiles carrying the one or more bits of the payload may be provided as part of a closed loop MIMO-based system. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for determining, via a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) module, that a maximum number of retransmissions has been reached for a HARQ packet. The HARQ module may communicate an internal NACK to a message retransmission module indicating a transmission failure. The message retransmission module may retransmit at least a part of the message. The retransmission may be performed prior to the expiration of a timer.

Abstract: An advanced technology frame structure is described herein. The advanced technology frame structure can enhance a first technology frame structure in dimensions of time, frequency, or a combination of time and frequency. A second technology frame structure time division multiplexes second technology subframes with the first technology downlink and uplink subframes. The first technology downlink subframe can be divided into a first technology downlink subframe and one or more second technology downlink subframes. Similarly, the first technology uplink subframe can be divided into a first uplink subframe and one or more second technology uplink subframes. These principles can be expanded upon and can be applied in many communication systems.
