  • Method and apparatus in a wireless messaging system for estimating and using required delivery parameters to meet a target transmission reliability
    Patent number: 6757548
    Abstract: A controller (112) monitors (306) delivery of two-way outbound messages to a plurality of portable messaging units (122), and records (308) reliability statistics (238) for the two-way outbound messages as a function of delivery parameters. The controller also determines (316) a target transmission reliability for sending a message; and estimates (318), from the reliability statistics, the required delivery parameters for sending the message at the target transmission reliability. The controller then transmits (320) the message in accordance with the required delivery parameters.
