Abstract: A method of scheduling a plurality of subscriber equipment based on sets of channel conditions and calculated power allocations for downlink channels of an air interface of a wireless communication system to satisfy a desired system requirement. A set of subscriber requesting access to the communication system or being provided access to the communication are selected by a scheduler based on their channel conditions and power allocation calculation. The scheduler then schedules the selected set of subscribers to achieve the desired system requirement whereby the subscribers simultaneously receive information from a multiple of antennas which are typically located at a base station.

Abstract: A method of providing a plurality of schedulers for independently scheduling multiple subscribers to increase the capacity and/or throughput of an HDR wireless communication system. Each scheduler is associated with base station equipment and an antenna that receive channel conditions on which the scheduling of subscribers are based.

Abstract: A wireless data communication system simultaneously transmits data signals from more than one antenna with a deterministic, time-dependent phase difference between the signals. In one example, more than one antenna transmits the same data signal with a phase difference between the transmitted signals. In another example multiple users' data signals are simultaneously transmitted using a corresponding plurality of beams that each use at least two transmitting antennas. Transmissions to multiple users on a shared packet data channel can be scheduled at the same time. In one example, the phase difference is periodic and the beams are orthogonal to maximize system throughput even when one or more users is stationary or slowly moving.

Abstract: A method of scheduling a plurality of subscriber equipment based on sets of channel conditions for uplink and downlink channels of an air interface of a wireless communication system. The scheduled subscriber equipment are able to simultaneously convey information at their desired information rate over the air interface to a multiple of antennas resulting in significant increase in system capacity.

Abstract: A flexible communications systems provides users with additional communication channels without requiring additional transmitters or receivers by using variable rate Walsh coding. Additionally, the assignment of these additional communication channels is easily managed at the base station by monitoring data backlog and receiver error rates.
