Abstract

Methods and apparatuses of a mobile subscriber transmitting information to a base station are disclosed. One method includes identifying an uplink transmission condition. If the uplink transmission condition is identified, the mobile subscriber transmits a message over multiple uplink frames. The mobile subscriber informs the base station that it is transmitting the message over the multiple uplink frames.

Claims (51)

1. A method of a mobile subscriber transmitting information to a base station, comprising:

identifying, in the mobile subscriber, an uplink transmission condition;

generating, in the mobile subscriber, a message that is to be transmitted over multiple uplink frames when the uplink transmission condition is identified;

introducing a cyclic delay between a first antenna and a second antenna of the mobile subscriber, wherein the cyclic delay varies between at least two of the multiple uplink frames;

transmitting, from the mobile subscriber to the base station, the message over multiple uplink frames; and

informing, separately from the transmitting, the base station that the message is being transmitted over the multiple uplink frames.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting comprises:

transmitting the message over different sets of sub-carriers.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying comprises:

identifying that an available transmission power of the mobile subscriber is insufficient to meet a desired Quality of Service (QoS) at the base station.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying comprises:

identifying that the mobile subscriber is proximate to a cell edge.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying comprises:

identifying that a mobile subscriber message transmission is limited by a power rating of a power amplifier of the mobile subscriber.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying comprises:

identifying that a mobile subscriber message transmission is limited by uplink interference.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying comprises:

identifying that a mobile subscriber message transmission is limited by an uplink signal to noise ratio (SNR).

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

encoding the message.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting comprises:

transmitting different subsets of the message over different uplink frames.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

allocating a subset of the message to a minimum number of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDM) symbols as determined by a wireless system protocol.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

assigning logical sub-channels to different sets of sub-carriers.

12. A mobile subscriber, comprising:

means for identifying an uplink transmission condition;

means for generating a message that is to be transmitted over multiple uplink frames when the uplink transmission condition is identified;

means for transmitting the message over the multiple uplink frames;

means for informing a base station that the message is being transmitted over the multiple uplink frames, the informing being separate from the transmitting the message;

multiple antennas; and

means for introducing a cyclic delay between the multiple antennas, the cyclic delay varying between at least two of the multiple uplink frames.

13. The mobile subscriber of claim 12 , wherein the means for transmitting is configured to:

transmit the message over different sets of sub-carriers for at least two of the multiple uplink frames.

14. The mobile subscriber of claim 12 , wherein the means for identifying the uplink transmission condition is configured to:

identify that the mobile subscriber is limited by a power rating of a power amplifier of the mobile subscriber.

15. The mobile subscriber of claim 12 , wherein the means for identifying the uplink transmission condition is configured to:

identify that the mobile subscriber is limited by uplink transmission path loss.

16. The mobile subscriber of claim 12 , wherein the means for identifying the uplink transmission condition is configured to:

identify that the mobile subscriber is limited by uplink interference.

17. The mobile subscriber of claim 12 , wherein the means for identifying the uplink transmission condition is configured to:

identify that the mobile subscriber is limited by an uplink signal to noise ratio (SNR).

18. The mobile subscriber of claim 12 , wherein the means for transmitting is configured to:

transmit copies of the message over the multiple uplink frames.

19. The mobile subscriber of claim 12 , wherein the means for transmitting is configured to:

transmit different subsets of the message over the multiple uplink frames.

20. The mobile subscriber of claim 12 , further comprising:

means for toggling between the multiple antennas for at least two of the multiple uplink frames.

21. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting copies of the message over the multiple uplink frames.
