Abstract: An efficient use of communication resources is provided by determining a behavior for selecting the payload size (data rate) of a reverse link transmission from a mobile station to a base station. The mobile station may store a predetermined table including the ratio of the power levels of the traffic channel and pilot channel (TPR), where each entry corresponds to one or more specific sizes of data payload, and consequently a data rate for transmission in a predetermined time frame. The payload size is selected based on an authorized-TPR. The authorized-TPR and a target-TPR are adjusted in accordance with a value of common TPR commands received from the base station. A fast-ramp-up behavior for adjustments of the authorized-TPR is followed when the authorized-TPR is less than the target-TPR. The down TPR commands are ignored in the adjustments of the authorized-TPR to allow following a fast-ramp-up behavior.

Abstract: Network (300) collects performance data associated with each network element, passes the performance data associated with each network element to a network management element (330), creating a global traffic conditioning control, communicates the global traffic conditioning control to at least one of the plurality of network elements, and re-shapes an internal control of at least one of the plurality of network elements based on the global traffic conditioning control. In another aspect, a network (400) detects congestion of a micro communication flow associated with at least one of a plurality of communication traffic flows at a first network element, detects a communication traffic flow priority at a first level associated with the congested micro communication flow, changes at a second network element, in an upstream communication flow in relation with the first network element, the priority from the first level to a second level.
Abstract: A communication system via the aid of a mobile station (195) and a computing device (150) determines value of an offset factor. Mobile station (195) measures a pilot signal strength transmitted from one of the base stations (160, 170, 180), changes value of the measured pilot signal strength according to the value of the offset factor, and reports the changed pilot signal strength in substitute of the pilot signal strength to one of the base station responsible for transmission of the pilot signal. Upon satisfactory performance, offset factor, at the base station, modifies the values of a common set of parameters that includes a threshold add and threshold comp to be used subsequently for all mobile stations.
Abstract: A method and apparatus provides for a subscriber device (106) to signal changing from a first network to a second network including receiving via a transceiver (120) at the subscriber device (106) a time value from another network and generating from a clock (124) at the subscriber device (106) a current time value and then using a controller (126) deriving a delta time value between the time value and the current time value. The controller (126) signals the user when the delta time value between the time value and the current time value changes.
