Adaptive uplink/downlink timeslot assignment in a hybrid wireless time division multiple access/code division multiple access communication system
Abstract
A method and apparatus for adaptive uplink/downlink resource assignment may include determining uplink interference associated with each of several uplink resources. A wireless network device may produce an uplink list with values for the uplink resources. The device may compare a downlink power level to at least one threshold for each of the downlink resources, wherein at least two of the downlink resources are each associated with a different portion of a frame. The device may produce a downlink list, which may be a bit stream providing an indication, for each downlink resource, indicating whether each of the downlink resources have a downlink power level which is less than or equal to the at least one threshold. The device may send the uplink and downlink lists and may receive an uplink list and a downlink list from each of several neighboring wireless network devices.
