Method for allocating resources in a wireless communication system
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a method for allocating resources in a wireless communication system. The method may include selecting at least one resource control bit that is not to be transmitted. The at least one resource control bit is selected based on at least one priority associated with the at least one resource control bit.
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
selecting at least one resource control bit that is not to be transmitted, the at least one resource control bit being selected based on at least one priority associated with the at least one resource control bit.
2. The method of claim 1 , comprising determining the at least one priority associated with the at least one resource control bit.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein determining the at least one priority comprises determining the at least one priority based upon at least one of a number of wireless communication legs, at least one resource control command associated with the resource control bit, at least one allocated resource associated with the at least one resource control bit, and a maximum value of a resource.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining the at least one priority based upon the number of wireless communication legs comprises determining the at least one priority based upon a number of wireless communication legs with base stations in an active set.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining the at least one priority based upon at least one resource control command associated with the resource control bit determining a lower priority for at least one UP command on at least one soft handoff leg.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein determining the at least one priority comprises determining the at least one priority based upon whether at least one resource control bit has been previously selected for non-transmission.
7. The method of claim 2 , wherein determining the at least one priority comprises determining the at least one priority based upon at least one other selection of one or more resource control bits that are not to be transmitted.
8. The method of claim 2 , wherein determining the at least one priority comprises determining the at least one priority based on a resource control polynomial.
9. The method of claim 2 , comprising sorting the resource control bits based upon the at least one priority.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein selecting the at least one resource control bit that is not to be transmitted comprises selecting at least one resource control bit having the lowest priority.
11. The method of claim 1 , comprising transmitting at least one resource control bit that is not the selected resource control bit.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the at least one resource control bit comprises selecting at least one power control bit.
13. The method of claim 12 , comprising determining at least one transmission power associated with the at least one power control bit.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein determining the at least one transmission power comprises scaling the at least one transmission power based upon the at least one priority associated with the at least one power control bit.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the at least one resource control bit comprises selecting at least one bit indicative of at least one of a channel code, a time slot, and an automatic repeat request.
