Abstract: A base station for use in a 1xEV-DV wireless network comprising: 1) a radio frequency (RF) transceiver for transmitting to mobile stations in voice traffic channels and in at least one packet data channel and 2) a power allocation controller for adjusting the total transmit power allocated to the voice traffic channels and the at least one packet data channel in response to changing conditions in the 1xEV-DV wireless network. The power allocation controller monitors and detects trends in the traffic channel transmit power requirements of the voice-user mobile stations and adjusts the total transmit power according to the detected trend.

Abstract: A method of dynamic hybrid multiple access in a wireless network that comprises a plurality of subscriber stations is provided. The method includes selecting a sub-carrier status for each of the subscriber stations based on at least one predetermined condition for the subscriber station. The sub-carrier status is either hopping or scheduled. The predetermined condition is monitored for each subscriber station to determine whether to switch the sub-carrier status for the subscriber station based on a change in the predetermined condition.

Abstract: A mobile station for canceling interference caused by a dominant interferer signal in a 1xEV-DV wireless network. The mobile station comprises an RF down-converter for outputting a down-converted signal, r(n); a first PN demodulator for multiplying the down-converted r(n) signal by a first PN code sequence to produce a first demodulated output signal; W Walsh code demodulators that multiply the first demodulated output signal by a selected set of W Walsh codes to produce W raw user signals; W subtractors that subtract a selected estimated interference signal from one of the W raw user signals to produce W estimated user signals; and a detector that outputs a detected user signal for each of the W estimated user signals that exceeds a first threshold value. The mobile station further comprises an interference estimator that receives W detected user signals from the first detector and outputs W estimated interference signals to the W subtractors.

Abstract: A base station for use in a wireless network that communicates with wireless mobile stations. The base station comprises: 1) a transceiver for transmitting forward channel data to a first mobile station via a beam-forming antenna array; and 2) a beam-forming circuit for maximizing data throughput to the first mobile station by jointly optimizing i) selection of a beam for transmitting the forward channel data to the first mobile station, ii) a level of Walsh code multiplexing of the forward channel data, and iii) a modulation scheme used to transmit the forward channel data.

Abstract: A base station for use in a wireless network capable of communicating with a plurality of mobile stations in a coverage area of the wireless network. The base station comprises a controller for controlling use of an Auxiliary Pilot channel. The controller causes the base station to i) terminate use of the Auxiliary Pilot channel in a first mode, ii) transmit data traffic to a first mobile station using the Auxiliary Pilot channel in a second mode, and iii) transmit data traffic to the first mobile station using a traffic channel phase-matched to a wide sector pilot channel signal in a third mode.
