Abstract: Techniques for making channel assignments to reduce interference and increase capacity of wireless networks are described. In an implementation, a set of OFDMA subcarriers available for assignment is divided into a plurality of subsets of subcarriers that include at least a first subset for relatively strong signals within a cell, a second subset for relatively weak signals within the cell, and a third subset for signals within the cell that correspond to stations used by preferred users. Signals are received from a plurality of other stations, and relative signal strengths of the signals are determined based on a comparison between the signals. Each station is assigned a transmit subchannel that is formed for a predetermined period of time by one of the plurality of subsets of subcarriers, the transmit subchannel assigned based on a relative signal strength of a signal received from station.

Abstract: Structures and protocols are presented for signaling a status or decision concerning a wireless service or device within a region to a communication device (smartphone or wearable device, e.g.) or other wireless communication participant (motor vehicle having a wireless communication capability, e.g.).

Abstract: Techniques for making channel assignments to reduce interference and increase capacity of wireless networks are described. In an implementation, a signal is received at a first station from a second station. A signal strength is measured and compared to other signal strength measurements of signals received from other stations. The signal strength is determined to be relatively weak based on the comparison, and the second station is assigned to a first subchannel that includes subcarriers reserved for stations with relatively weak signals. Subsequently, the signal strength measurement is repeated and the signal strength is determined to be relatively strong in comparison to the other signal strengths. The second station is then reassigned to a second subchannel that includes subcarriers reserved for stations with relatively strong signals.

Abstract: Techniques for making channel assignments to reduce interference and increase capacity of wireless networks are described. In an implementation, a first station receives a signal from a second station. The first station measures a signal strength of the received signal, and determines that the signal strength is relatively weak compared to other signals received at the first station from other stations. A set of OFDMA subcarriers available for assignment is divided into a first subset for relatively weak signals within a first cell and a second subset for relatively strong signals within the first cell. The second station is assigned a transmit subchannel that is formed for a predetermined period of time by the first subset of subcarriers, the transmit subchannel assigned based on the determination that the signal strength of the received signal is relatively weak.

Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for improving wireless system capacity by reducing collisions where the Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) is high in systems having a channel reuse of 1. By ordering the channel assignment in each of the interfering cells according to a pattern, for example, according to the distance from a base station (determined by power levels), the mobile stations will become paired on the same channel in a manner to reduce interference between them. In one embodiment, this intelligent assignment is accomplished by assigning mobile stations in one cell such that the mobile station having the strongest signal is assigned channel A while in the interfering cell the mobile station with the weakest signal is assigned to channel A. In another embodiment, certain preferred mobile stations are assigned either interference-free channels or channels paired with weak interference mobile stations.

Abstract: A communications base station is installed at a selected new location and the base station, prior to going “on line” monitors the wireless traffic from other base stations within interference range of the new base station's coverage area. The new base station also monitors the wireless traffic between mobile devices within its coverage area and these other base stations. Based upon these monitored conditions, as well as other known conditions, the new base station then determines the transmitting parameter configuration it should imply in order to achieve a desired optimization between capacity and coverage area. After the new base station is on line, a central control can monitor the entire network to determine if any additional changes are necessary and if so the new transceiver, or any other transceiver, can be instructed to monitor itself with respect to interference and to take corrective action to improve overall network coverage and capacity.
