Abstract
A wireless communication device performance, such as standby time, is improved by adaptively allocating surplus system resources to change quick paging channel parameters at the system, such a system being for example, a base station. Adaptively adjusting the quick paging channel parameters allows available base station resources to be allocated to the quick paging channel, thereby enabling the wireless communication device to demodulate the quick paging channel more reliably. Parameters such as the number of quick paging channels, the data rate used by the paging channel, and the quick paging channel transmit power level are weighed and adjusted.
Claims12
A method of adaptively allocating network resources to improve performance of a wireless communication device in a system in which a base station transmits a quick paging channel signal, the method comprising:
- identifying at least one parameter at the base station relating to the quick paging channel signal, wherein the identified at least one parameter affects the performance of the wireless communication device;
- monitoring network load at the base station;
- and
- adaptively adjusting the at least one parameter at the base station to modify the quick paging channel signal based on the network load, thereby influencing the performance of the wireless communication device.
A system adapted to transmit a quick paging signal to a wireless communication device, comprising:
- means for identifying at least one parameter relating to the quick paging channel signal, wherein the identified at least one parameter affects the performance of the wireless communication device;
- means for monitoring network load;
- and
- means for adaptively adjusting the at least one parameter to modify the quick paging channel signal based on the network load.
