Abstract

A method and system for managing communication in a Multi-User Reusing One time Slot (MUROS) based communication network is provided. The method includes selecting a first communication device from a plurality of communication devices in the communication network, determining a Timing Advance (TA) associated with the first communication device and identifying a type of the first communication device, identifying a second communication device from the plurality of communication devices based on a TA associated with the second communication device, a type of the second communication device, the TA of the first communication device, and the type of the first communication device, and pairing the first communication device and the second communication device in a first time slot for establishing communication with the plurality of communication devices.

Claims (32)

1. A method for managing communication at a base transceiver station in a multi-user reusing one time slot (MUROS) based communication network including a plurality of communication devices, the method comprising:

selecting a first communication device from the plurality of communication devices;

determining a timing advance (TA) of the first communication device;

identifying a type of the first communication device;

selecting a second communication device to share a first time slot with the first communication device, from the plurality of communication devices based on a TA of the second communication device, a type of the second communication device, the TA of the first communication device, and the type of the first communication device; and

assigning the first time slot to the first communication device and the second communication device when a power imbalance ratio between the first communication device and the second communication device is not greater than a predefined threshold,

wherein the predefined threshold is based on the TA of the first communication device, the TA of the second communication device, the type of the first communication device, and the type of the second communication device, and

wherein the type of at least one of the first or second communication devices is a downlink advanced receiver performance (DARP) communication device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a request from the first communication device and the second communication device to establish a communication network with one or more communication devices from the plurality of communication devices.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first communication device communicates with one or more communication devices using a second time slot and the second communication device communicates with one or more communication devices using a third time slot.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising maintaining a table including a plurality of TAs,

wherein each of the plurality of TAs is associated with at least one communication device of the plurality of communication devices in the communication network.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the assigning of the first time slot to the first communication device and the second communication device comprises assigning the first time slot to the first communication device and the second communication device when:

the TA of the first communication device and the TA of the second communication device are the same and the type of the first communication device and the second communication device are the same.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the assigning of the first time slot to the first communication device and the second communication device comprises assigning the first time slot to the first communication device and the second communication device when:

the TA of the first communication device and the TA of the second communication device are different and the type of the first communication device and the second communication device are different.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the assigning of the first time slot to the first communication device and the second communication device comprises assigning the first time slot to the first communication device and the second communication device when:

the TA of the first communication device and the TA of the second communication device are the same; and

the type of the first communication device and the second communication device are different.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the assigning of the first time slot to the first communication device and the second communication device comprises assigning the first time slot to the first communication device and the second communication device when:

the TA of the first communication device and the TA of the second communication device are different; and

the type of the first communication device and the second communication device are the same.

9. A base transceiver station comprising:

at least one processor configured to:

select a first communication device from a plurality of communication devices,

determine a timing advance (TA) of the first communication device,

identify a type of the first communication device,

select a second communication device to share a first time slot with the first communication device, from the plurality of communication devices based on a TA of the second communication device, a type of the second communication device, the TA of the first communication device and the type of the first communication device, and

assign the first time slot to the first communication device and the second communication device when a power imbalance ratio between the first communication device and the second communication device is not greater than a predefined threshold; and

a memory configured to maintain a table including information about TAs of the plurality of communication devices,

wherein the predefined threshold is based on the TA of the first communication device, the TA of the second communication device, the type of the first communication device, and the type of the second communication device, and

wherein the type of at least one of the first or second communication devices is a downlink advanced receiver performance (DARP) communication device.
