Patent number: 8520630Abstract: A method and apparatus for predicting a handover of a Mobile Station (MS) of a plurality of MSs to one or more target Base Stations (BSs) of a plurality of BSs in a wireless communication network. The method includes predicting a need for a handover of a MS to one or more target BSs selected from the plurality of BSs based on a handover threshold. The handover threshold is associated with a quality of a signal received by the MS. The method further includes transferring datapath associated with the MS to one or more of the one or more target BSs and one or more gateways prior to the handover of the MS. The one or more gateways are associated with one or more of a serving BS associated with the MS and the one or more target BSs.

Patent number: 8284715Abstract: The disclosure proposes an adaptive resource allocation in a network. A resource is divided into Blocks and each base station is assigned a Block for its subscribers that are in the interference region, and another Block for its subscribers that are not in the interference region. Blocks other than these two are not used by the base station. Bordering base stations does not use the same Block if they have any subscribers in the shared interference region. The disclosure proposes a resource sizing along with load balancing scheme. The resource sizing is adaptable and may change over time according to topology.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2006Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: WiChorus, Inc.Inventors: Rehan Jalil, Mustafa Ergen, Tony Mak

Publication number: 20090080375Abstract: In this invention, adaptive resource allocation is proposed. A resource is divided into Blocks and each base station is assigned a Block for its terminals that are in the interference region, and another Block for its terminals that are not in the interference region. Blocks other than these two are not used by the base station. Bordering base stations does not use the same Block if they have any terminal in the shared interference region. Another embodiment of the invention proposes resource sizing along with load balancing scheme. Resource sizing is defined as determining the size of the resources allocated for each Block. This is adaptable and can change over time according to topology. Another embodiment of the invention proposes a handover method for some terminals in order to increase the Block utilization by handing a terminal over another base station. Final embodiment of the invention proposes an adaptive control scheme that defines multiple policies for different topologies.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2006Publication date: March 26, 2009Inventors: Rehan Jalil, Mustafa Ergen, Tony Mak
