Use of supplemental assignments to decrement resources
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of dynamically allocating system resources, comprising:
- transmitting a persistent non-supplemental assignment to at least one mobile device connected to a wireless network to assign an initial set of resources to the at least one mobile device;
determining whether the at least one mobile device requires resource de-allocation;
generating a supplemental assignment that de-assigns the resources and is indicated as a supplemental assignment message; and
transmitting the supplemental assignment to the at least one mobile device.

Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate dynamically supplementing or decrementing resource assignments to mobile devices in a wireless network environment without requiring transmission of replacement assignments. Supplemental assignments can be generated based on information related to mobile device need and resource availability. Moreover, resource assignments can be persisted for a mobile device.

7. A system that facilitates supplementing resource assignments for mobile devices, comprising:
-
an assignment component that generates non-supplemental resource assignments for a plurality of respective mobile devices, wherein the non-supplemental resource assignments are persisted until a subsequent non-supplemental resource assignment is received by the mobile device to which the assignment corresponds; a supplemental component that receives information related to increased or decreased resource requirements of at least one of the plurality of mobile devices and generates a supplemental assignment to allocate additional resources or de-allocate existing resources to satisfy the resource requirements of the at least one mobile device; and a transceiver that transmits supplemental assignment messages to the plurality of mobile devices. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for generating a persistent initial resource assignment that assigns resources to at least one mobile device; means for determining whether the at least one mobile device requires resource de-allocation; means for generating a supplemental assignment that de-assigns the resources and is indicated as a supplemental assignment message; and a transmitter that transmits the supplemental assignment to the at least one mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A mobile device, comprising:
-
a processor configured to identify whether an assignment message is at least one of a persistent non-supplemental assignment that assigns resources to at least one mobile device, or a supplemental assignment, and if it is a supplemental assignment to determine whether the supplemental assignment is intended to de-assign resources assigned by a prior persistent non-supplemental assignment; and a memory coupled to the processor. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method of processing assignments, comprising:
-
determining whether a received assignment message is at least one of a persistent non-supplemental assignment that assigns resources to at least one mobile device, or a supplemental assignment; if the assignment message is a supplemental assignment, then determining whether the supplemental assignment is intended to de-assign resources; and if the supplemental assignment is a de-assignment, de-assigning resources based upon resources identified in the supplemental assignment. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for determining whether a received assignment message is at least one of a persistent non-supplemental assignment that assigns resources to at least one mobile device, or a supplemental assignment; means for, if the assignment message is a supplemental assignment, then determining whether the supplemental assignment is intended to de-assign resources; and means for, if the supplemental assignment is a de-assignment, de-assigning resources based upon resources identified in the assignment message. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
