20110075558RATE SHAPING TRIGGERED DISCONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A modified token bucket algorithm in a rate shaper in a wireless communication network allows for the “borrowing” of tokens, creating the possibility of a token debt, or a token bucket with a negative Token Bucket Counter (TBC) value. In this modified token bucket algorithm, an incoming packet is passed along so long as the TBC is positive, even if the packet must “borrow” some tokens, driving the TBC negative. Subsequent incoming packets are stalled until the TBC reaches a positive value. The token bucket refills at a known rate; accordingly, the duration of traffic stalling, when the TBC is negative, is known. During this time, the UE is forced into DRX mode, saving battery power by not monitoring DPCCH for traffic that has been halted. The DRX, or sleep, mode may be invoked in several ways.03-31-2011
20110075562Rate Shaping For Wireless Communication Using Token Bucket That Allows Token Debt - A modified token bucket algorithm in a rate shaping function of a wireless communication network allows for the “borrowing” of tokens, creating the possibility of a token debt, or a token bucket with a negative Token Bucket Counter (TBC) value. In this modified algorithm, an incoming packet is passed along so long as the TBC is positive, even if the packet must “borrow” some tokens, driving the TBC negative. Subsequent incoming packets are stalled until the TBC reaches a positive value. In one embodiment, the modified token bucket algorithm is not applied to a separate rate shaper, but rather to a queue size limiter that operates with a scheduler on a single queue. The inventive scheduler and queue size limiter deliver fewer, larger packets for transmission, allowing for more efficient packing within transmission frames (reducing or eliminating required padding), and allowing other traffic to be scheduled, thus increasing system throughput.03-31-2011
