Method and system for a remote downlink transmitter for increasing the capacity and downlink capability of a multiple access interference limited spread-spectrum wireless network
First Claim
1. A method for increasing user capacity and high-speed data service of wireless communication network comprising the steps of:
- receiving at a base station of the network a request for a high-speed data service from a first user;
providing the requested high-speed data via download from a remote emitter directly to the first user;
determining a first path loss from the first user to the remote emitter;
detecting a second user of the network;
determining a second path loss from the second user to the remote emitter;
if the second path loss is equal to or less than the first path loss, directly providing data download from the remote emitter to the second user; and
if the second path loss is greater than the first path loss, directly providing data download from the base station to the second user.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for extending the coverage area and communication capacity of a spread-spectrum based wireless network. The system comprises a unique dual-scale, asymmetrical cellular architecture for a wireless network, wherein the communication uplink is based on a macro-cellular system, and the communication downlink is based on a micro-cellular system. Through the user of remote downlink transmitters in the micro-cellular system, the present invention provides a cost effective solution for increasing communication capacity, extending coverage area, and providing high-speed communication downlink.

9. A method for a providing a wireless communication network with increased user capacity and enhanced high speed data service, comprising:
-
providing a base station for serving the network; providing at least one remote emitter associated with the network; detecting a plurality of user equipments (UEs) active in the network; commanding the plurality of UEs to monitor the at least one remote emitter; receiving reports from the detected UEs indicating a path loss between each one of the detected UEs and the base station and at least one remote emitter; determining whether any of the plurality of UEs is requesting high speed data service; and if one of the plurality of UEs is requesting high speed data service, designating the one UE as an enhanced UE and establishing a data link between the enhanced UE and the base station or the at least one remote emitter depending on the most favorable path loss to the enhanced ULE. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
