/ METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATING AND/OR USING LOAD INFORMATION IN SUPPORT OF DECENTRALIZED TRAFFIC SCHEDULING DECISIONS

摘要

distributed traffic scheduling information to determine the supported load to pass or and / or use The methods and apparatus related to what is described. Individual wireless terminals corresponding to a peer to peer connection which desire to pass the traffic signal are performed for the traffic slot by traffic slot based transmitter yielding and / or receiver yielding decisions. The state of the system and / or load information in order to deliberately distort the transmitter yielding decision (skew) in response to the request is used. Link load weight is generated based on the intended transmitter load information and / or the intended receiver load information. Traffic request parameters and / or link load weight are transmitted between the wireless communication devices in the request response signaling and / or request. As part of the transmitter yielding decision, the outlet value, one or more of the weighted SINR, and the interference cost estimate is calculated based on at least one link load weight information and channel status measurement. ;
