Embodiment Construction

[0025]In a wireless network a unidirectional connection between the base station (BS) and mobile station (MS) or between BS and relay station (RS) is established for different flows of traffic, and each connection is identified by a connection identifier such as a connection ID (CID) used in IEEE 802.16. There,could be more than one connection per station but each connection needs to have a unique but changeable CID. Details can be found in IEEE Std 802.16, IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks, Part 16: Air Interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems, 2004 and in IEEE Std 802.16e, IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks, Part 16: Air Interface for Fixed and Mobile Broadband Wireless Access System, 2005. The CID for each connection is inserted within the MAC header of a packet. When a relay station receives the packet, first it checks whether the CID of the packet is for itself. If it is, a relay station accepts the packet and does the proce...

Abstract

Connection ID (CID) assignment in multi-hop relay system can be used to perform routing. Using CID assignment as routing information in a multi-hop wireless relay system to maintain the routing structure is disclosed. In a CID cache scheme, a base station builds a CID cache based on the upstream packet and broadcasts the CID cache to a relay station. The CID cache comprises CIDs along with routing information. Based on CID cache the spanning tree of the routing can be reconstructed. A hierarchical CID assignment is disclosed wherein a base station assigns a range of CIDs to a relay station. A relay station can recognize its data packets and forward them to corresponding mobile stations. Maintaining routing automatically along with CID assignment is also disclosed.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 835,604, filed Aug. 8, 2007, entitled “ROUTE MAINTENANCE AND UPDATE BASED ON CONNECTION IDENTIFIER IN MULTI-HOP RELAY SYSTEMS,” which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 836,595 filed Aug. 9, 2006, entitled “ROUTE MAINTENANCE AND UPDATE BASED ON CONNECTION IDENTIFIER IN MULTI-HOP RELAY SYSTEMS” both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]The present invention relates to multi-hop routing in a wireless network. More specifically it relates to using connection identifier assignment as routing information.[0003]In a centralized multi-hop relay system, the routing for each mobile station (MS) is decided by the base station (BS) before transmitting the data packets based on a number of factors such as measured channel qualities, Quality-of-Service (QoS) of each connection, etc. These routing decisions should be ...
