20090147737 | LATENCY-AWARE ADAPTIVE BANDWIDTH REQUEST MECHANISM FOR REAL-TIME COMMUNICATION IN WIMAX - A method and apparatus for requesting bandwidth in a subscriber station is disclosed. The method dynamically changes the size of the bandwidth request based on the prediction of the number of packets needed to be transmitted. The average delay experienced by packets in a queue is measured, and this information is then used to change the coefficient of a prediction equation. When the experienced average delay is below the agreed upon QoS latency parameter or delay target, the method reduces the size of the bandwidth requests by making the prediction equation more conservative. On the other hand, when the experienced delay is above the agreed upon latency, the algorithm will make the prediction equation more aggressive, increasing the bandwidth requests and reducing the latency for future packets. By modifying the prediction equation based on the measured delay, the method is able to select the optimal point for achieving time delay requirements while preserving air-link resources. | 06-11-2009 |

20130235797 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DATA MESSAGE COMMUNICATION - A method and user device are for communicating data from the user device by transmitting a synchronizing preamble having no timing advance, the synchronizing preamble comprising a base sequence that has been cyclically shifted by N shift index durations. The user device receives from a network station a response that indicates that a preamble was received from the user device having the base sequence cyclically shifted by N−1 shift index durations. The user device determines, based at least partially on the response, that corrective action is appropriate. The user device performs one of transmitting a modified form of synchronizing preamble, transmitting the data as a data message having a timing advance, and barring further attempts to transmit the data to the network station for a defined duration. | 09-12-2013 |
20140126615 | SYNCHRONIZING RECEIVE DATA OVER A DIGITAL RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) INTERFACE - A method and system synchronizes transmission of receive data over an asynchronous digital radio frequency interface in a wireless communication device. A timing accurate strobe (TAS) re-sampler generates, using a first timing strobe synchronized to a baseband modem clock, a second timing strobe synchronized to a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) clock. The TAS re-sampler forwards the second timing strobe to the RFIC to trigger a collection of data samples and initiates a count of RFIC clock cycles. The RFIC sends the data samples to a baseband First In First Out (FIFO) buffer over the asynchronous interface. In response to the count reaching a pre-determined number of RFIC clock cycles corresponding to a fixed delay, the TAS re-sampler triggers a reading of data from the FIFO buffer. The baseband modem receives data corresponding to the collection of data samples after a fixed delay from generation of the first timing strobe. | 05-08-2014 |
