Abstract

Abstract A transmission control method is provided which can improve a decrease in throughput when collision occurs during the use of a collision-based access system. In response to forward link message DA11(I,0) from a radio base station 10, a terminal 11 transmits a packet signal D11(0) while a terminal 12 transmits a packet signal D12(0). When the packet signals collide head-on, the radio base station 10 does not receive them but transmits forward link message D12(I,0). When the terminals 11 and 12 receive the forward link message, they judge that the packet signals transmitted by themselves have collided head-on and then transfers to a back-off state in which random time transmission is sustained. When forward link message DA13(I,0) is received from the radio base station 10, the terminal 12 restored from the back-off state retransmits the packet signal D12(0). Meanwhile, the terminal 11 is changed to a back-off state when receiving forward link message DA15(P,11) from the radio base station 10. The terminal 11 does not originally transmit a packet signal but retransmits the packet signal D11(0) because transmission request from the radio base station.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 91 words
A transmission control method suitable in a radio communication system which performs packet communications by sharing a radio communication medium between plural terminals and a radio station and employs a multiple access system in which collision may occur, said method comprising the steps of: making a terminal in a transmission mode during use of a collision-based access system when receiving a polling from said radio base station, said terminal being changed to a back-off state, thus being in a wait state, because of collision of a signal transmitted from said terminal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 68 words
The transmission control method defined in claim 1, wherein each of said terminals judges that a packet signal transmitted from its terminal has collided when its terminal receives access control information from said radio base station after transmitting said packet signal to said radio base station, said access control information representing no reception, and changes to a back-off state in which a different random time transmission is suspended.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
The transmission control method defined in claim 1 or 2, wherein said radio base station transmits a common polling signal to all said terminals when a packet signal from each of said terminals is not received, and sequentially transmits polling signals to other terminals after a packet is completely received from a specific terminal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 128 words
A transmission control method suitable in a radio communication system which performs packet communications by sharing a radio communication medium between plural terminals and a radio station and adaptively employs a multiple access system in which collision may occur and a multiple access system in which collision does not occur, said method comprising the steps of: detecting collision by means of said radio station; changing said radio communication system to a back-off state by transmitting said collision signal when said multiple access system in which collision may occur is changed to said multiple access system in which collision does not occur; and making said terminal in a transmission mode at a polling receive time when said terminal in a wait state has received polling from said base station.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 71 words
The transmission control method defined in claim 4, wherein each of said terminals judges that a packet signal transmitted from itself has collided when receiving said access control information from said radio base station, said access control information representing that said packet signal is not received, after transmission of said packet signal to said radio station, and changes to a back-off state in which a different random time transmission is sustained.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 137 words
A transmission control method suitable in a radio communication system which performs packet communications by sharing a radio communication medium between plural terminals and a radio base station and employs a multiple access system in which collision may occur in a reverse link from said plural terminals to said radio base station and which realizes transmission confirmation regarding a forward link packet signal to be transmitted on a forward link in response to a response signal from a terminal being a destination of said forward link packet signal, said method comprising the steps of: transmitting a collision signal after said radio base station detects collision; and transmitting a response signal for transmission confirmation at a polling receiving time when a terminal changed to a back-off state and in a wait state receives polling from said radio station.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 71 words
The transmission control method defined in claim 6, wherein each of said terminals judges that a packet signal transmitted from itself has collided when receiving said access control information from said radio base station, said access control information representing that said packet signal is not received, after transmission of said packet signal to said radio station, and changes to a back-off state in which a different random time transmission is sustained.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 169 words
A transmission control method comprising the steps of, transmitting a first forward link message from a radio base station to terminals; transmitting packet signals from said terminals in response to said first forward link message; transmitting a second forward link message from said radio base station when said radio base station does not receive said packet signals due to collision of said packet signals; changing said terminals to a back-off state in response to said second forward link message to avoid re-collision; retrasnmitting a packet signal from a terminal first recovered from said back-off state in response to a third forward link message from said radio base station; transmitting a fourth forward link message containing access control information from said radio base station when said radio base station correctly receives said packet signal from said first recovered terminal; and judging that said packet signal from said first recovered terminal has been correctly received by said radio base station when said first recovered terminal receives said fourth forward link message.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 198 words
A transmission control method comprising the steps of, transmitting a first forward link message from a radio base station to terminals; transmitting packet signals from said terminals in response to said first forward link message when said radio base station is in a collision-system access mode; changing said radio base station from a collision-system access mode to a non-collision-system access mode when said radio base station does not receive said packet signals due to collision of said packet signals, and then transmitting a second forward link message from said radio base station; changing said terminals to a back-off state in response to said second forward link message to avoid re-collision; retransmitting a packet signal from a terminal first recovered from said back-off state according to transmission invitation in response to a third forward link message from said radio base station; transmitting a fourth forward link message containing polling information from said radio base station to said first recovered terminal when said radio base station correctly receives said packet signal from said first recovered terminal; and sequentially transmitting a fifth forward link message from said radio base station when a packet signal from said first recovered terminal is transmitted.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 216 words
A transmission control method comprising the steps of, transmitting packet signals from terminals in response to a first forward link message from a radio base station; transmitting a second forward link message from said radio base station when said radio base station does not receive said packet signals due to collision of said packet signals; changing said terminals to a back-off state in response to said second forward link message to avoid re-collision; extracting forward link message for a terminal in a back-off state from a third forward link message transmitted from said radio base station retransmitting a packet signal from a terminal first recovered from said back-off state in response to said third forward link message from said radio base station; transmitting a fourth forward link message containing access control information and forward link message for first-recovered terminal from said radio base station when said radio base station correctly receives said packet signal from said first recovered terminal; extracting forward link message from said fourth forward link message; transmitting a fifth forward link message containing access control information and forward link message from said radio base station to confirm transmission of forward link message; and transmitting a response packet signal from said terminal in a back-off state in response to said fifth forward link message.
