SILENT PERIOD METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT

摘要

A silent period method and apparatus for dynamic spectrum management are disclosed herein. Such methods include the construction and coordination of silent periods across the channels that are channeled in a wireless communication system. A silent time management entity (SPME) dynamically determines silent period schedules for channels based on system and device information and assigns a silent period duration and periodicity corresponding to each silent period assign. The SPME will be able to reconstruct the silent duration schedule based on system delay, system throughput, channel quality or channel management events. The Silent Term Interpretation entity (SPIE) receives and implements a silent period schedule. The silent periods for the channels may be synchronized, independent, or set-synchronized. Interfaces for communication between the SPME, the SPIE, the channel management function, the MAC, the quality of service entity, the detection / capabilities database, the MAC layer management entity (MLME) and the wireless transmit / receive unit (WTRU) Lt; / RTI
