  • Patent number: 7970343
    Abstract: A method, a wireless communication system, a tangible machine-readable medium, and a communication apparatus for transmitting and relaying a channel descriptor based on a multi-hop relay standard are provided. The wireless communication system comprises a BS and at least one RS. The BS divides the channel descriptor into a common channel descriptor and at least one particular channel descriptor. Then the BS broadcasts/multicasts the common channel descriptor to the at least one RS and transmits the at least one particular channel descriptor to the same. The at least one RS combines the common channel descriptor and the at least one particular channel descriptor to generate the channel descriptor.

  • Publication number: 20100254337
    Abstract: A mobile station (MS), a base station (BS), a transmission method and a computer storage medium thereof are provided. When the MS requests a bandwidth from the BS, it may generate a selected transmission sequence and a quick access message. The selected transmission sequence comprises pre-defined bit information (e.g., a flow identification, a size of the bandwidth or the like), and the quick access message comprises a station identification of the MS. The MS may transmit the transmission sequence and the quick access message to the BS in a frame so that the BS may allocate the bandwidth to the MS according to the size of the bandwidth, the station identification and the flow identification. Thereby, the amount of the control signals needed when the MS requests a bandwidth from the BS may be decreased.

  • Patent number: 7792067
    Abstract: A wireless network scheduling control system and a method therefor are provided, which includes a first receiving/transmitting node, one or a plurality of second receiving/transmitting nodes, and an end receiving/transmitting node. When data is transmitted from the first receiving/transmitting node to the end receiving/transmitting node via the second receiving/transmitting node, a type of the transmitted data for being connected is determined. If a transmission sequence can be registered and reset, the end receiving/transmitting node enters a sleeping mode through a control signal, and the second receiving/transmitting node registers and resets the transmission sequence; otherwise, the transmission is performed according to a plan of an MAP. A technology of registering and reorganizing the data in a frame structure that is transmitted is utilized, such that the data relevant to the end receiving/transmitting node is received and transmitted as collectively as possible.

  • Patent number: 7634285
    Abstract: A wireless communication system using channel access based on a contention approach and method thereof is disclosed, which allocates plural sets of time slots in a predetermined contention interval, wherein each set of time slots further includes plural adjacent overlapped time slots. A channel requester transmits a contention message to a channel allocator at a time slot based on an interleaved method after the channel requester completes count down of a predetermined time, so that the positions of the headers of the contention messages in the adjacent time slots of each set of time slot are different. Thus, if the contention message transmitted by the channel requester collides with the contention message of the adjacent time slot, the channel allocator can parse the headers of the collided contention messages and respectively allocate plural special channel times for communicating with the channel requesters.
