Abstract: Technologies that, among other things, provide resource allocation in multi-hop wireless networks with relay stations and can be used to supply information to link data packets with a respective resource allocation.

Abstract: Technologies for wireless communications can include communicating connection information that specifies one or more parameters of a connection between a base station and a wireless device. The connection information can be indicative of one or more of: a station identifier, whether data packets associated with the connection include a cyclic redundancy check, and whether data packets associated with the connection include encrypted information. These technologies can include constructing, based on the connection information, a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) that includes a header at a beginning portion of the MAC PDU. The header can include one or more of: a first flag that indicates a header type, a second flag that indicates whether there is a subheader inclusion following the header in the MAC PDU, a flow identifier that, together with the station identifier, identifies the connection, and a length value.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for enhancing quality of service (QoS) in communication networks, including wired and wireless communication networks. Implementations of described techniques and systems can be used to provide path-based QoS with distributed per-hop scheduling for carrying traffic over a multi-hop packet communication network.

Abstract: Techniques and system designs are described for providing mobile communication systems with negotiation mechanisms to select data integrity schemes based on quality of service (QoS) schemes to enhance system performance during mobile handover processes. In one aspect, a method for providing data integrity in a wireless communication network includes providing a quality of service (QoS) profile for a service flow for a mobile station to include information of one or more QoS requirements of the service flow and a data integrity indicator to indicate information of data integrity for the service flow during a handover of the mobile station from one base station to another base station; and using the data integrity indicator to assist selection of a data integrity scheme from one or more data integrity schemes available to the service flow during the handover of the mobile station.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for acknowledging management message reception in a wireless communication system can include operating a first radio station to generate a management message that contains a sequence number unique to the management message and to direct the management message to a second radio station; and operating the second radio station, after receiving the management message from the transmitter, to generate and transmit, before decoding the content of the received the management message, an acknowledgement to the transmitter identifying the received manage message by the sequence number unique to the management message.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for grouping channels, such as pilots, are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving transmissions of two or more pilot signals at an access terminal of a wireless communications network that includes an access node, based on characteristics of the transmissions of the two or more pilot signals from the access node to the access terminal, determining whether the two or more pilot signals are suitable for grouping and indicating of the suitability of the two or more pilot signals for grouping by sending a pilot information report for the pilot group to the access node.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and techniques can include using a mobile station identifier to identify a mobile station associated with a base station in wireless communications between the mobile station and the base station, using a connection identifier and the mobile station identifier to identify a connection between the mobile station and the base station; and transacting information with a radio station. The information can include the connection identifier, the mobile station identifier, and data associated with the connection.
