Abstract
Provided is a method and system for enhancing acquisition latency in a communications network. The method includes identifying control information associated with transmitted information and fragmenting the identified control information. Each fragment of control information is then associated with a corresponding transmission unit of the transmitted information. This process facilitates independent decoding and processing of the control information, which is embedded within physical layer packets.
Claims20
A method for enhancing acquisition latency in a communications network, comprising:
- identifying control information associated with transmitted information;
- fragmenting the control information;
- and
- associating each fragment of control information with a corresponding transmission unit of the transmitted information.
A method for enhancing acquisition latency in a communication network, comprising:
- receiving transmitted information and associated control information, wherein the control information comprises a plurality of fragments;
- and
- recovering each unit of received transmitted information based on a corresponding control information fragment.
A method of fragmenting control information, comprising:
- identifying information to be transmitted;
- and
- logically partitioning the information into control information fragments such that each fragment may be used by a receiver to recover usable control information.
An apparatus for enhancing acquisition latency in a communications network, comprising:
- means for identifying control information associated with transmitted information;
- means for fragmenting the control information;
- and
- means for associating each fragment of control information with a corresponding transmission unit of the transmitted information.
An apparatus for enhancing acquisition latency in a communication network, comprising:
- means for receiving transmitted information and associated control information, wherein the control information comprises a plurality of fragments;
- and
- means for recovering each unit of received transmitted information based on a corresponding control information fragment.
An apparatus for fragmenting control information, comprising:
- means for identifying information to be transmitted;
- and
- means for logically partitioning the information into meaningful control information fragments such that each fragment may be used by a receiver to recover usable control information.
A computer readable medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions for execution by one or more processors to perform a method for enhancing acquisition latency in a communications network, the instructions when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
- identifying control information associated with transmitted information;
- fragmenting the control information;
- and
- associating each fragment of control information with a corresponding transmission unit of the transmitted information.
A processor configured for enhancing acquisition latency in a communications network, comprising:
- identification logic for identifying control information associated with transmitted information;
- fragmenting logic for fragmenting the control information;
- and
- associating logic for associating each fragment of control information with a corresponding transmission unit of the transmitted information.
