A method includes providing a dedicated random access channel to communicatively couple the base station and the mobile terminal; initiating the mobile terminal to select a random access signaling identification; generating a resource request at the at least one base station to receive uplink resource information from the mobile terminal; and receiving an initial access information request from the at least one mobile terminal to configure the base station connection.

Abstract: A method and system are provided having an uplink control structure and a pilot signal having minimal signal overhead for providing channel estimation and data demodulation in a wireless communication network. The uplink control structures enable mobile terminals to communicate with corresponding base stations to perform various functions including obtaining initial system access, submitting a bandwidth request, triggering a continuation of negotiated service, or providing a proposed allocation re-configuration header. A dedicated random access channel is provided to communicatively couple the base station and the mobile terminal so that the mobile terminal can select a random access signaling identification. A resource request is received at the base station to uplink resource information from the mobile terminal and an initial access information request is received from the mobile terminal to configure the base station connection.

A mobile station (MS) assists a serving access point (AP) in assigning radio resources according to the interference management capabilities of the MS, the serving AP, and one or more neighboring interfering APs on the downlink, or alternatively, to one or more neighboring APs with interfering mobile stations on the uplink.

Abstract: Transmission of uplink control message for a wireless system. The uplink control message may be encoded according to one of multiple possible schemes. The choice of encoding scheme may be made based on the control message size and/or based on the available transmission resources and/or based on the detection scheme used on the receiving end. A modulation scheme may also be selected based on such factors. CDM may be used for certain control messages. Block code encoding, such as Reed-Muller encoding may be used for certain control messages. Different transmission resources may be allocated for different control message uses. The encoding specifics may be selected to obtain a certain hamming distance and/or size of the encoded message or based on other factors.

The control information includes information to uniquely identify the HARQ process and an identification of one of a time resource, a frequency resource and a time and frequency resource that is allocated for the transmission. Other aspects of the invention are directed to acknowledging a downlink HARQ transmission, rescheduling an uplink HARQ transmission, and error recovery for an uplink HARQ transmission.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to low traffic or power modes for a User Equipment (UE) or mobile or wireless device in wireless communications systems, and more particularly to indications provided by a UE to a communications network relating to state transitions of the UE in a power mode. A method in a UE is provided comprising: generating a power mode state preference to extend or change the current power mode state of the UE; and indicating to a network element the power mode state preference. The power mode state transition of the UE can involve turning a reception capability of the UE from an On state to an Off state and vice versa. The UE preference can be based on information within the UE, including on information from one or more applications on the UE.
