LOW COMPLEXITY DYNAMIC PERSISTENCE MODE FOR RANDOM ACCESS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method, access point device and peripheral device provide low complexity dynamic persistence for random access in a wireless communication system (100). The peripheral device includes a block assignment receiver for receiving a block assignment having a source address which contains a contention address and a persistence level and for identifying the contention address and reading the persistence level; a random number generator coupled to the block assignment receiver for generating a random number based on the persistence level; and a persistence based transmitter coupled to the random number generator for transmitting a payload burst containing a resource request based on the random number and the persistence level.
