Patent number: 8644841Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for dynamically adjusting a signal-to-noise (SNR) bias based on relative load between a macro type base station and a micro type base station of a wireless communication system. The SNR bias corresponds to a threshold differential SNR between SNRs of the macro base station and of the micro base station, wherein the SNR bias is configured to be provided to an access terminal (or user equipment) to cause the access terminal (i) to be biased to seek service from the micro base station if the access terminal detects an SNR from the micro base station that is less than the threshold differential SNR below an SNR that the access terminal detects from the macro base station, and (ii) to be biased to seek service from the macro base station otherwise. Once the SNR bias is determined based on the relative load, it is communicated to one or more access terminals.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Siddharth S.

Patent number: 8576737Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for dynamic adjustment of forward-link rate-control parameters. An access terminal in a wireless communication system that includes a base station will determine a requested forward-link data rate by measuring a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the forward link, and looking up a corresponding forward-link data rate in one of three different tabulations of SNR threshold values against forward-link data rates. The AT will operate in a first state in which the access terminal uses a single tabulation for both increasing and decreasing measurements of SNR, and upon receiving a message from the base station indicating high time slot utilization on the forward link, the AT will transition to operating in a second state in which the access terminal uses a dual tabulation, wherein one of the dual tabulations is used for increasing measurement of SNR, and the other is used for decreasing measures of SNR.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2011Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Manoj Shetty, Sachin R.

Patent number: 8416750Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for selectively scheduling control channel messages ahead of traffic channel data. When a RAN in a wireless communication system operating at least according to IS-856 determines that a delay condition exists in the transmission of a particular control packet to access terminals, the RAN will determine if there is a particular traffic packet in active transmission that is classified according to best effort service (or similarly-characterized service class), and further if at least a threshold number of a nominal number of time-slot segments of the particular traffic packet remain untransmitted. If such a traffic packet is identified, the RAN will cancel transmission of the particular traffic packet and replace it with immediate transmission of the particular control packet.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2009Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Sachin R.
