Estimating the term…
In a packet data transmission and reception system, a media access control (MAC) message is broadcast by a base station to a plurality of mobile stations. The MAC message contains packet data transmission scheduling information which allows the base station to preemptively control mobile station access to traffic channels in order to maximize the efficiency of packet data transmissions and allow scheduling consideration including priority access, quality of service and maximum bytes per transfer. The MAC message consists of a control frame structure, which comprises scheduling parameters including MAC IDs fields, activity fields, and a field representing the number of free traffic channels in a cell. These parameters enable multiple mobile stations to share, in a time multiplexed fashion, traffic channels for packet data transmission on CDMA based mobile communication systems.
A wireless telecommunications system comprising at least one base station, said at least one base station for assigning one of a plurality of MAC_IDS to each of a plurality of mobile stations within a cell served by said at least one base station and allocating a packet data channel for a selected mobile station of said plurality of mobile stations, wherein said at least one base station transmits a selected MAC_ID of said plurality of MAC_IDs on a control channel transmit to said plurality of mobile stations, said selected MAC_ID assigned to said selected mobile station, and wherein said selected MAC_ID is associated on said control channel with activity information that indicates to said selected mobile station that a packet data channel has been allocated to said selected mobile station by said at least one base station.
A method of operating a base station for packet data services in a wireless telecommunications system, said method comprising:
A wireless telecommunications system comprising:
A method of operating a wireless telecommunications system having a plurality of base stations and a mobile station;
