International Classification:

H04M 1100

US Classification:

455404, 455434, 455450, 455509, 455512, 455515, 370329, 370348

Abstract:

A high priority and/or emergency overload access control system treats a wireless unit as a higher priority wireless unit when the wireless unit is attempting to access a wireless communications system with a high priority call, such as an emergency call. For example, the overload access control system can recognize if the wireless unit is attempting to initiate a call to an emergency number. If so, the wireless unit can perform a persistence test as an emergency class (e. g. overload class ) wireless unit in attempting to access the wireless communications system. Thus, the wireless unit will experience an increased probability of passing the persistence test and thereby reducing the persistence delay in attempting to access the wireless communications system with the emergency call.

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04Q007/20

US Classification:

4554522, 455450

Abstract:

A communication system includes a base station and a plurality of remote stations wirelessly communicating with the base station. The base station determines a respective RF quality for each remote station. In response to a request for RF resources from a given remote station, the base station determines whether admission of the given remote station would exceed an RF power budget threshold. If the RF power budget threshold would not be exceeded, the RF quality is compared to a first quality threshold to determine whether to allocate the requested RF resource to the given remote station. Otherwise, the RF quality is compared to a second quality threshold more stringent than the first quality threshold to determine whether to allocate the RF resource to the given remote station. The base station may further determine whether to allocate requested RF resources on the basis of a priority of the requested resources.

International Classification:

G01R 31/08

US Classification:

370232, 370235, 3703954, 4554521, 4554522, 455453

Abstract:

In the method, an average user throughout over all active users is computed, and each user's user perceived throughput is compared against the computed average throughout. Based on the comparison, the scheduling of the plurality of users is prioritized. In an embodiment, a priority adjustment factor is applied to each user to prioritize the scheduling of users to receive a data transmission. The priority adjustment factor is determined based in part on an update function. The update function is proportional to a calculated difference between each user's user perceived throughput and the average user throughput. Based on the sign of the update function, the priority adjustment factor is either incremented or decremented, and hence, prioritization of users is ordered. The output of the scheduler is user identifying information that informs the base station to transmit data in a current time slot to the identified user determined as the highest priority user by the scheduling method.
