  • Patent number: 8824288
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed that involve communicating in bursty noise environments. For instance, a source device may send a probing packet to a destination device. This probing packet is for determining whether the communications medium (e.g., one or more frequency channels) is currently exhibiting a busy or jammed (e.g., due to bursty noise) condition. More particularly, based on whether an acknowledgment of the probing packet is received, the source device determines whether the channel is jammed (or busy) or clear. For example, an unacknowledged probing packet indicates that the channel is jammed or busy, while an acknowledged probing packet indicates that the channel is clear. If the channel is determined to be clear, then the source device may transmit one or more data packets to the destination device. Such data packet transmissions may be in accordance with a non rate-adaptive technique.

  • Publication number: 20140192706
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for frequency reuse in a wireless relay scenario, wherein a center frequency spectrum, an edge frequency spectrum and a random access frequency spectrum are pre-allocated to a cell according to a scenario parameter in the cell; load conditions of all mobile stations (MSs) covered by each relay station (RS) in the cell is calculated and reported to a base station (BS); the BS allocates the random access frequency spectrum to an RS according to load conditions of all RSs and schedules MSs. The disclosure also provides a system for frequency reuse in a wireless relay scenario. With the method and system above, the frequency spectrum planning is configurable, the random access frequency spectrum is introduced, and both the load balancing and user fairness are taken into consideration, which improves the throughput at the edge of the cell, especially can increase the throughput for the users whose throughput ranks poorly.
