Error correction for a persistent resource allocation
First Claim
1. A method of processing a persistent resource allocation in a client station, the method comprising:
- receiving persistent resource allocation information, the persistent resource allocation information including an indication of downlink (DL) persistent resources, a first identifier associated with the client station, an indication of a DL allocation period, uplink (UL) persistent resources, and an indication of an UL allocation period; and
on a condition that the first identifier identifies the client station, periodically decoding the DL persistent resources and persistently transmitting via the UL persistent resources, wherein the DL persistent resources repeat at an interval defined by the DL allocation period and the UL persistent resources repeat at an interval defined by the UL allocation period.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for communicating and utilizing persistent allocation of resources are described herein. A base station may allocate persistent resources to a client station, and may associate the client station or persistent resource allocation with a particular shared NACK channel. The base station may monitor the NACK channel for a NACK indicating a map error. The base station may monitor the resource allocation to implicitly determine a map error. The base station may resend one or more persistent resource allocation information elements in response to the NACK or implicit error determination. A client station having a persistent resource allocation may monitor persistent resource allocation information elements in map messages and/or may indicate failure to receive a persistent resource allocation information element in a NACK message on a shared NACK channel.

10. A client station operable to process a persistent resource allocation, the client station comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive persistent resource allocation information, the persistent resource allocation information including an indication of downlink (DL) persistent resources, an first identifier associated with the client station, an indication of a DL allocation period, uplink (UL) persistent resources, and an indication of an UL allocation period; and a processor configure to, on a condition that the first identifier identifies the client station, periodically decode the DL persistent resources and persistently transmit via the UL persistent resources, wherein the DL persistent resources repeat at an interval defined by the DL allocation period and the UL persistent resources repeat at an interval defined by the UL allocation period. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20)
