Abstract: In the present technique of round trip time management, an acknowledgment packet received (204) on a wireless network is first buffered (210) to a memory buffer. A time delay is then added (214) to an assigned departure time of the acknowledgment packet, which at least substantially stabilizes the round trip times of a transmission control protocol transmitter. As a result, a congestion control feature of the transmission control protocol transmitter is prevented from being triggered by a false detection of a network congestion.

Abstract: A controller (103a, 103b) provides dynamic capacity, for use in connection with a communication network (101). A processor of the controller (103a, 103b) that can be utilized in the communication network can be configured to facilitate determining whether a current load level is below a predetermined low usage, and responsive thereto, adjusts a bearer configuration to allow higher throughput per user. Further, the processor (103a, 103b) can be configured to facilitate determining whether the current load level exceeds a predetermined high usage, and responsive thereto, adjusting the bearer configuration to allow lower throughput per user.

Abstract: The method includes receiving (402) at the base station a handover indication associated with a first mobile communication unit. Based on the handover indication, a desired handover power level for the first mobile communication unit is determined (404). Based on the desired handover power level, a communication link is established with the first mobile communication unit at an actual power level. A difference between the desired handover power level and the actual power level is calculated (406), and based on the difference, a transmit power of the base station is determined.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a communication system (300) directs a radio frequency communication from a first radio frequency channel in a first frequency band between a mobile user of a mobile station (310) and a land based network (301). The method includes determining in a base station subsystem (350) allowability of the mobile user to operate in the second frequency band, and assigning the second radio frequency channel in the second frequency band to mobile station (310) when according to the determining step the mobile user is allowed to operate in the second radio frequency band. The determining step is based on an association of a mobile user of mobile station (310) with at least one of a plurality of cells in communication system (300), or a priority information element, or a subscriber identity. The second frequency band is a preferred frequency band which may be a predetermined preferred frequency band, or based on a congestion condition in communication system (300).
