Title:
APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR AUTONOMOUSLY MANAGING REVERSE LINK COMMUNICATION RESOURCES IN A DISTRIBUTED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004114705
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method efficiently manage reverse link communication in a communication system having geographically distributed base stations. A base station functioning to at least one mobile station as a non-serving active base station estimates an expected coupled load due to the at least one mobile based on a previous total coupled load. The base station determines a total available capacity based on the difference between the total capacity of the base station and the estimated expected coupled load. The base station allocates reverse link resources to other mobile stations served by the base station so as not to exceed the total available capacity. Since the allocation of reverse link channels resources are controlled directly by the base station, delays due to communications with a central controller are eliminated. As a result, adverse effects of load scheduling based on obsolete reverse channel information are minimized.
