Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for real-time processing in wireless communications systems. An interruption of processing of one or more first symbol packets at one or more wireless communication components is detected. A predetermined period of time for a delay in processing of one or more second symbol packets is determined. Processing of one or more second symbol packets is delayed until expiration of the predetermined period of time. Processing of one or more second symbol packets is then performed.

Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for power control using uplink coordinated multi-point transmission in a wireless communications system are provided. Using a first node, at least one second node configured to provide an uplink support to user equipment communicating with the first node is detected. The first node receives a confirmation from the second node indicating availability of uplink support by the second node to the user equipment. Based on the received confirmation, communicating with the user equipment on an uplink using the second node is established.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing network entry during handoffs in a wireless communication network (100) includes receiving (302) target ranging codes from a serving network node (220), wherein each of the target ranging codes identifies one of a plurality of target network nodes. A handoff request is transmitted (304) to the serving network node (220), wherein the handoff request indicates a target ranging code (230) identifying at least one of the plurality of target network nodes. In reply to the handoff request, a handoff request response is received (310) from the serving network node that includes a unique handoff ranging code, wherein the unique handoff ranging code is different from the target ranging code. After receiving the handoff request response, ranging is initiated using the unique handoff ranging code (316) with the identified target network node (230).

Abstract: A technique for decreasing noise and interference in an uplink of a wireless communication system includes detecting, at a serving base station, noise and interference levels above a threshold. In response to the detecting, a noise and interference measurement frame is scheduled that includes respective allocated portions for respective active subscriber stations and respective unallocated portions that are adjacent to the respective allocated portions and are not allocated to one of the respective active subscriber stations. The respective allocated portions and the respective unallocated portions are configured in a selected pattern in the noise and interference measurement frame. The respective noise and interference levels are determined, at the serving base station, in the respective unallocated portions of the noise and interference measurement frame.
