In addition to other aspects disclosed, a portable base station requests assignment of a portion of a code space from a remotely located control station. The assignment is based upon the location of the portable base station. The portable base station is also capable of transmitting an identification signal using the assigned code space portion to uniquely identify the portable base station to one or more access terminals.

Assigning code space to portable base stations

Methods and systems for communicating over a wi.reless network are described. A private access point sends indication information to a mobile station that includes available services provided by the private access point.

Providing zone indications for wireless networking

An access terminal determines whether a parameter encoded in a signal received from an embedded access point is identified by a list in a memory of the access terminal. Based on the determination, the access terminal initiates communication with a radio area network through the embedded access point.

Selecting embedded cells in wireless networks

In addition to other aspects disclosed, a data over signaling message that identifies a recipient access terminal is transmitted from a radio network controller to the sector in response to an attempt by an access terminal on a sector of a wireless network to access a service of the wireless network.

Signaling for push-to-talk

In a radio access network in which a first access terminal uses a first access point to access the network and a second access terminal uses a second access point to access the network, interference is reduced in communications between the first access terminal and the first access point by adjusting signal power levels of the second access terminal without requiring coordination between the first and second access points.

Controlling reverse link interference in private access points for wireless networking

Information is received identifying a geographic location of an access point in a radio access network. Access information is assigned and communicated to the access point, and the access information and the geographic location information is communicated to an access terminal. The access terminal identifies the access point as a preferred access point, including its geographic location. The access terminal receives information identifying its own geographic location, and when the access terminal is near the access point, the access point is used to access the network. The access point receives information identifying its geographic location and communicates the geographic location information to a configuration server. The access point receives access information from the configuration server and provides access terminals access to the network using the access information.

Configuring preferred user zone lists for private access points for wireless networking

A method for generating acknowledgement messages in a data transmission system having a receiver for receiving datagrams and being capable of determining which of a series of datagrams have been incorrectly received, the method comprising generating a plurality of a data units, each data unit comprising: a status bit indicative of the status of the data unit; and a plurality of spacing bits together forming a binary representation of a number at least partially indicative of the spacing between one incorrectly received datagram and a succeeding incorrectly received datagram. Apparatus for carrying out various aspects of the methods are also provided.
