First Claim
Patent Images
1. A priority scheme method for a communication system, comprising:
- at a base station, receiving from one or more mobile devices a power status message;
allocating a data profile of a frame based on the power status messages to enable higher priority mobile devices to receive data in the frame before lower priority mobile devices.

Abstract
A priority scheme method (300) for a communication system (100) at a base station (110) is described herein. The method can include the steps of receiving (310) from one or more mobile devices (120, 130) a power status message and allocating (315) a data profile of a frame based on the power status messages to enable higher priority mobile devices to receive data in the frame before lower priority mobile devices. As an example, the power status message may indicate whether a mobile device is being powered by a portable power source (175) or a non-portable power source (195).

11. A priority scheme method for a broadband communication system, comprising:
-
at a base station, receiving a power status message from one or more mobile devices, wherein the power status messages are associated with the type of power sources that are currently providing power to the mobile devices; based on the power status messages, scheduling data transmissions for the mobile devices in a downlink map such that the transmissions intended for mobile devices providing power status messages that indicate a power critical status are allocated prior to the transmission intended for mobile devices providing power status messages that indicate a power non-critical status. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A base station, comprising:
-
a transceiver that receives power status messages from one or more mobiles devices, wherein some of the mobile devices are powered by a portable power source and some of the mobile devices are powered by a non-portable power source; a scheduler coupled to the transceiver, wherein the scheduler schedules data transmissions based on the power status messages, wherein the scheduler grants in a transmission map a higher priority to the data transmissions that are associated with the mobile devices powered by the portable power sources. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
