Wireless communication systems and methods

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention include wireless communication systems having one or more network components that can communicate with at least one mobile station in an interference environment. A transmitter can transmit data indicating a set of communication modes in which a mobile station is capable of operating and for at least one mode of communication in the set an indication of interference rejection capability. The indicating data can be received by a receiver. A resource allocator can allocate system resources based on the indicating data for use during a connection between network components (e.g., a network apparatus and a mobile station). Allocation of system resources can fully or partially depend on a connection's communication mode, an indication of interference rejection capability of a mobile station for the mode of communication of the connection, and/or an interference environment expected during the connection. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

主权项

1. A wireless communication system in which a network apparatus communicates with a mobile station in an interference environment, the system comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit indicating data, wherein the indicating data comprises a plurality of communication modes that the mobile station is configured to operate in, and wherein the indicating data also comprises an interference rejection capability indication for each of the plurality of communication modes, wherein the interference rejection capability indication for a particular communication mode informs the network apparatus whether or not the mobile station has interference rejection capability for the particular communication mode the mobile station has interference rejection capabilities for; a receiver configured to receive the indicating data; and a resource allocator coupled to the receiver and responsive to the received indicating data configured to allocate system resources to be used during a connection between the network apparatus and the mobile station, the system resources are allocated based on a communication mode of the connection between the network apparatus and the mobile station, on the interference rejection capability indication of the mobile station for the communication mode of the connection, and on an expected interference environment expected during the connection, wherein the resource allocator is further configured to allocate the system resources to be used during the connection when the expected interference environment is adverse and the indicated interference rejection capability of the mobile station for the communication mode of the connection is suitable for the adverse interference environment.
