Abstract

A method and apparatus of assigning selected interlace mode, the method comprising generating SelectedInterlaceAssignment message comprising SelectedInterlaceAssignment message comprising an 8 bit Message ID field, a 12 bit PilotPN field, a 1 bit SelectedInterlacesEnabled field, a 4 bit NumAssignedInterlaces field, and a 3 bit InterlaceID field, wherein, the PilotPN field is set to a PilotPN of the sector that sends SelectedInterlace Assignment message, the NumAssignedInterlaces field is set to the number of assigned interlaces, the InterlaceID field is set to an interlace assigned to the access terminal for SelectedInterlace operation and transmitting the generated SelectedInterlaceAssignment message over an OFDM communication link.

Claims

1. A method of assigning selected interlace mode, the method characterized in that:

generating SelectedInterlaceAssignment message comprising an 8 bit Message ID field, a 12 bit PilotPN field, a 1 bit SelectedInterlacesEnabled field, a 4 bit NumAssignedInterlaces field, and a 3 bit InterlaceID field, wherein, the PilotPN field is set to a PilotPN of the sector that sends SelectedInterlace Assignment message, the NumAssignedInterlaces field is set to the number of assigned interlaces, the InterlaceID field is set to an interlace assigned to the access terminal for SelectedInterlace operation; and

transmitting the SelectedInterlaceAssignment message over an OFDM communication link.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that, setting the NumAssignedInterlaces field to 1 if the SelectedInterlacesAssigned field is set to ‘

0’

.

3. A computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon, characterized in that:

a set of instructions for generating SelectedInterlaceAssignment message comprising, a 8 bit Message ID field, a 12 bit PilotPN field, a 1 bit SelectedInterlacesEnabled field, a 4 bit NumAssignedInterlaces field and a 3 bit InterlaceID field, wherein, PilotPN field is set to the PilotPN of the sector that sends SelectedInterlace Assignment message, the NumAssignedInterlaces filed is set to the number of assigned interlaces and the InterlaceID field is set to an interlace assigned to the access terminal for SelectedInterlace operation; and

a set of instructions for transmitting the SelectedInterlaceAssignment message over an OFDM communication link.

4. An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus characterized in that:

means for generating SelectedInterlaceAssignment message comprising a 8 bit Message ID field, a 12 bit PilotPN field, a 1 bit SelectedInterlacesEnabled field, a 4 bit NumAssignedInterlaces field, and a 3 bit InterlaceID field, wherein, the PilotPN field is set to a PilotPN of the sector that sends SelectedInterlace Assignment message, the NumAssignedInterlaces field is set to the number of assigned interlaces, the InterlaceID field is set to an interlace assigned to the access terminal for SelectedInterlace operation; and

means for transmitting the SelectedInterlaceAssignment message over an OFDM communication link.

5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that means for setting the NumAssignedInterlaces field to ‘

1’

if the SelectedInterlacesAssigned field is set to ‘

0’

.

6. A method of receiving information in a wireless communication system, the method characterized in that:

receiving an 8 bit Message ID field, a 12 bit PilotPN field, a 1 bit SelectedInterlacesEnabled field, a 4 bit NumAssignedInterlaces field and a 3 bit InterlaceID field, wherein, the PilotPN field is interpreted as the PilotPN of the sector that sends SelectedInterlace Assignment message, the NumAssignedInterlaces is interpreted as the number of assigned interlaces and the InterlaceID field is interpreted as an interlace assigned to the access terminal for SelectedInterlace operation;

determining the value of SelectedInterlacesEnabled field; and

operating in SelectedInterlace mode if the value of SelectedInterlacesEnabled field is set to ‘

1’

or not operating in SelectedInterlace mode if the value of SelectedInterlacesEnabled field is set to ‘

0’

.

7. A computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon, characterized in that:

a set of instructions for receiving an 8 bit Message ID field, a 12 bit PilotPN field, a 1 bit SelectedInterlacesEnabled field, a 4 bit NumAssignedInterlaces field and a 3 bit InterlaceID field, wherein, the PilotPN field is interpreted as the PilotPN of the sector that sends SelectedInterlace Assignment message, the NumAssignedInterlaces is interpreted as the number of assigned interlaces and the InterlaceID field is interpreted as an interlace assigned to the access terminal for SelectedInterlace operation;

a set of instructions for determining the value of SelectedInterlacesEnabled field; and

a set of instructions for operating in SelectedInterlace mode if the value of SelectedInterlacesEnabled field is set to ‘

1’

or not operating in SelectedInterlace mode if the value of SelectedInterlacesEnabled field is set to ‘

0’

.

8. An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus characterized in that:

means for receiving an 8 bit Message ID field, a 12 bit PilotPN field, a 1 bit SelectedInterlacesEnabled field, a 4 bit NumAssignedInterlaces field and a 3 bit InterlaceID field, wherein, the PilotPN field is interpreted as the PilotPN of the sector that sends SelectedInterlace Assignment message, the NumAssignedInterlaces is interpreted as the number of assigned interlaces and the InterlaceID field is interpreted as an interlace assigned to the access terminal for SelectedInterlace operation;
