A method of interference management for a wireless device in a wireless communication system may comprise monitoring a packet error metric associated with transmissions over a communication channel of the wireless communication system, modifying a packet size attribute associated with MPDUs processed at the wireless device, identifying a bursty interference condition on the communication channel based on a change in the packet error metric in response to the modified packet size attribute, and generating a bursty interference indicator based on the identification of the bursty interference condition. Another method may comprise receiving a bursty interference indicator identifying a bursty interference condition on a communication channel of the wireless communication system, adjusting a packet size attribute associated with MPDUs processed at the wireless device based on the bursty interference indicator, and transmitting one or more MPDUs over the communication channel according to the adjusted packet size attribute.

Systems and methods are provided for optimizing the scheduling of Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) transmissions in the downlink (DL) direction. A two-stage mechanism can be implemented when effectuating DL OFDMA transmission involving multiple modulation and coding schemes (MCS) in a single transmit burst. A first stage of the two-stage mechanism may use radio frequency (RF) boosting/de-boosting of Resource Units (RUs) such that the average input power to an AP power amplifier (PA) may remain under a saturated PA output power to ensure PA linearity. If RF boosting/de-boosting is not supported, an alternative mechanism for OFDMA grouping (to rigid grouping) can be employed to skip higher MCS.

A method for allocating resource and accessing in open wireless channels includes: covering multiple types of user terminal stations in open wireless channels; making dynamic adaptive matching according to comprehensive change factors of a transmitting end and a receiving end in each communication process. The factors of the transmitting end mean that a type and transmitting capacity of a transmitting station are changed, a current state of the wireless channel between the transmitting station and a relay node is changed, a working state of a receiving end of the relay node is changed, and user services to be transmitted are changed; the factors of the receiving end mean that a type and receiving capacity of a receiving station are changed, a current state of the channel from the relay node to the receiving station is changed, and a working state of a transmitting end of the relay node is changed.

A method and system for performing link adaptation are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method in a wireless communication system for performing link adaptation is provided. The method includes, when a first measure of channel quality is higher than a first predetermined amount, using a first outer loop adjustment process directed to determining link adaptation for a first data transmission transmitted to a wireless device. The method also includes, when the first measure of channel quality is lower than a second predetermined amount, using a second outer loop adjustment process different from the first outer loop adjustment process directed to determining link adaptation for a second data transmission transmitted to the wireless device.

The present disclosure relates to methods of transmitting and receiving transmission feedback in a radio network node. More particularly the disclosure pertains to transmitting and receiving messages acknowledging reception and successful decoding of a transport block in a radio network node. The disclosure also relates to a wireless device providing transmission feedback and to a radio network node receiving the transmission feedback. The disclosure proposes a method, performed in a radio network node, of receiving transmission feedback. The method comprises transmitting, using a set of transmission properties, a transport block to a receiving wireless device and receiving, from the receiving wireless device, an acknowledgement (ACK) confirming reception and successful decoding of the transport block in the receiving wireless device, wherein the ACK defines a decoding margin of the decoding. The disclosure also proposes a corresponding method in a wireless device and corresponding devices as well as a corresponding computer program.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for bundling feedback related to downlink transmissions on a plurality of component carriers (CCs). In some examples, a base station configures a multi-carrier mobile device to use different feedback bundling schemes when it determines that the mobile device is power limited. The bundling scheme configured for the mobile device may be based, in part, on one or more transmission modes of the downlink CCs. Bundling schemes may include combinations of bundling techniques and an order in which these techniques are applied. In particular, the bundling techniques may include CC bundling in combination with spatial bundling and/or feedback repetition. For efficiency and performance, a bundling scheme may require application of CC bundling before resorting to use of feedback repetition.

Methods and systems are disclosed that may help a base station to adjust forward-link data rates in a given sector based on transmission-power variations in neighboring sectors. An exemplary method involves a base station that serves a first sector: (a) determining a respective transmission power for each of two or more channels of a second sector, (b) detecting a transmission-power difference between at least two of the channels of the second sector, and (c) in response to detecting the transmission-power difference: (i) determining a data rate control (DRC) adjustment for the first sector based at least in part on the transmission-power difference; and using the determined DRC adjustment to determine a forward-link data rate for at least one access terminal in the first sector.

A method, of operating an end node to wirelessly communicate with a central node, includes: receiving wirelessly a current instance of a beacon signal periodically-transmitted from the central node; measuring a received power, P.sub.B-RX, of the beacon signal; reading locally-stored values of P.sub.B-TX and G representing a presumed transmitted power of the beacon signal and a performance goal of the end node, respectively; determining, for a given channel, a path loss, PL, based on the P.sub.B-RX and the P.sub.B-TX; and adaptively setting an energy level, E.sub.N-TX, of a forthcoming message to be transmitted from the end node by adaptively determining, based on PL and G, at least two of: a level of power, P.sub.N-TX; a forward error correction coding rate, c; and a spreading factor, SF; and a modulation format, M.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a transmission status determining method, where the method includes: receiving, by a receive end device in a first time period, a first symbol sequence sent by a transmit end device; determining a first modulation parameter set according to the first symbol sequence; and determining, according to preset first mapping relationship information, a first transmission status corresponding to the first modulation parameter set as a transmission status of the transmit end device in a second time period, where the first mapping relationship information is used to indicate a one-to-one mapping relationship between N transmission statuses and N modulation parameter sets, the first modulation parameter set belongs to the N modulation parameter sets, and the second time period is later than the first time period.

A system communicates packets of data between two computers starting at an initial rate. The system then enters a slow start mode and increases the rate. As the rate increases, the system monitors acknowledgement data indicating a round trip time (RTT) associated with individual packets. When the RTT meets or exceeds a threshold, the system exits the slow start mode and continues the background connection a selected rate. The selected rate is based on the acknowledgement data associated with one or more packets having an RTT that meet or exceed the threshold. The features disclosed herein mitigate some of the issues with the LEDBAT protocol and other congestion control techniques, some which may include queue overflows and unnecessary slowdowns.
