Abstract: An access terminal adapts (e.g., self-optimizes) at least one handover parameter used by the access terminal for determining whether and/or how to handover from one access point to another access point. In addition, the access terminal uses different handover parameters for handover between different pairs of access points. For each of the access point pairs, the access terminal maintains a record of any handover issues that occur during handover of the access terminal between the access points. In the event a handover issue arises for a given pair of access points, the access terminal may adapt the handover parameter(s) associated with that access point pair in an attempt to mitigate the handover issue. In the event handover parameter adaptation occurs or occurs too frequently, the access terminal may store the adapted handover parameters for use during a subsequent handover operation and/or handover parameter adaptation operation.

Abstract: A process for wireless communications is disclosed herein that includes specifying transmission parameters for a plurality of wireless nodes in a single frame; and transmitting the single frame. An apparatus for performing the process is also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A flexible and reconfigurable digital system (for example, a wireless modem) includes a set of sub-circuits. Each sub-circuit includes a task manager and an amount of configurable hardware circuitry for performing a type of operation on a data stream. The task manager of a sub-circuit can configure and control the configurable hardware of the sub-circuit. A central processor configures and orchestrates operation of the sub-circuits by maintaining a set of task lists in a tightly coupled memory. Each task list includes task instructions for a corresponding sub-circuit. The task manager of a sub-circuit reads task instructions from its task list and controls its associated hardware circuitry as directed by the instructions. A timestamp task instruction and a push task instruction and the task list architecture allow modem sub-circuits to be easily reconfigured to operate in accordance with either a first air interface standard or a second air interface standard.
