Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate dynamically supplementing or decrementing resource assignments to mobile devices in a wireless network environment without requiring transmission of replacement assignments. Supplemental assignments can be generated based on information related to mobile device need and resource availability. Moreover, resource assignments can be persisted for a mobile device.
Claims32
A method of dynamically allocating system resources, comprising:
- determining whether at least one mobile device requires additional resources or requires resource de-allocation;
- generating a supplemental assignment that de-assigns the resources and is indicated as a supplemental assignment message;
- and
- transmitting the supplemental assignment to the at least one mobile device.
A system that facilitates supplementing resource assignments for mobile devices, comprising:
- a supplemental component that receives information related to increased or decreased resource requirements of at least one of the plurality of mobile devices and generates a supplemental assignment to allocate additional resources or de-allocate existing resources to satisfy the resource requirements of the at least one mobile device;
- and
- a transceiver that transmits supplemental assignment messages to the plurality of mobile devices.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for determining whether least one mobile device requires additional resources or requires resource de-allocation;
- means for generating a supplemental assignment that de-assigns the resources and is indicated as a supplemental assignment message;
- and
- a transmitter that transmits-the supplemental assignment to the at least one mobile device.
A mobile device, comprising:
- a processor configured to identify whether an assignment message is a supplemental assignment and to determine whether the supplemental assignment is intended to de-assign resources;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor.
A method of processing assignments, comprising:
- determining whether a received assignment message is a supplemental assignment;
- if the assignment message is a supplemental assignment, then determining whether the supplemental assignment is intended to de-assign resources;
- and
- if the supplemental assignment is a de-assignment, de-assigning resources based upon resources identified in the assignment message.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for determining whether a received assignment message is a supplemental assignment;
- means for, if the assignment message is a supplemental assignment, then determining whether the supplemental assignment is intended to de-assign resources;
- and
- means for, if the supplemental assignment is a de-assignment, de-assigning resources based upon resources identified in the assignment message.
