Patent ID: 8031667

Claim:
A method for managing a multiple frequency assignment using a terminal's received (RX) performance in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) wireless regional area network (WRAN) system, comprising: a) measuring a bit energy/noise power spectral density (Eb/No) and a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) which are received in the terminal; b) informing the measured Eb/No and RSSI of a base station wherein the measuring is performed based on an up link-map (UL-MAP), a down link-map (DL-MAP), a frame control channel (FCH) and a preamble of a downlink burst, and a transmission power, a modulation scheme, a channel coding scheme which are assigned to the FCH, DL-MAP and UP-MAP of frequency channels used in the base station; c) calculating a round trip delay (RTD) in the base station; d) determining a terminal's RX performance level based on the measured Eb/No, RSSI and the calculated RTD; and e) determining a frequency channel and modulation scheme based on the determined performance level, wherein a different modulation scheme is assigned to each frequency channel.
