Abstract
A method for switching group assignment of an access terminal (AT) includes receiving a control message indicating a current group to which the AT is assigned and an assigned group to which the AT is to be switched, and decoding data in a next-received group interlace which corresponds to the assigned group.
Claims14
A method for switching group assignment of an access terminal (AT), belonging to a group, where the group is assigned a group interlace and the AT is assigned an interlace offset for the AT's first subpacket transmission on the group interlace the method comprising:
- receiving a control message from a network entity, the control message indicating a current group to which the AT is assigned and a target group to which the AT is to be switched;
- decoding data over a current group interlace corresponding to the current group and a target group interlace corresponding to the target group;
- and
- transmitting an acknowledgement (ACK) indicating receipt of the target group indication of the control message to the network entity, and decoding the data over only the target group interlace.
A method for interlace offset switching of an access terminal (AT) belonging to a group, where the group is assigned a group interlace and the AT is assigned an interlace offset for the AT's first subpacket transmission on the group interlace, the method comprising:
- receiving a control message from a network entity, the control message indicating a current interlace offset assigned to the AT and a target interlace offset to which the AT is to switch;
- decoding data in the current and target interlace offsets;
- transmitting an acknowledgement (ACK) indicating receipt of the target interlace offset of the control message to the network entity;
- and
- switching interlace offset of the AT from the current interlace offset to the target interlace offset.
A method for interlace offset switching of an access terminal (AT) belonging to a group by a network entity, where the group is assigned a group interlace and the AT is assigned an interlace offset for the AT's first subpacket transmission on the group interlace, the method comprising:
- transmitting a control message to the AT, the control message indicating a current interlace offset assigned to the AT and a target interlace offset to which the AT is to switch;
- transmitting data to be decoded in the current and target interlace offsets;
- and
- transmitting data to be decoded to the AT in only the target interlace offset in response to receiving an acknowledgement (ACK) from the AT indicating receipt of the target interlace offset of the control message.
A method for switching group assignment of an access terminal (AT) belonging to a group by a network entity, where the group is assigned a group interlace and the AT is assigned an interlace offset for the AT's first subpacket transmission on the group interlace, the method comprising:
- transmitting a control message to the AT, the control message indicating a current group to which the AT is assigned and target group to which the AT is to switch;
- transmitting data over a current group interlace corresponding to the current group and a target group interlace corresponding to the target group;
- and
- transmitting data over only the target interlace in response to receiving an acknowledgement (ACK) from the AT indicating receipt of the target group indication of the control message.
