  • Methods for managing data transmissions between a mobile station and a serving station
    Publication number: 20060146744
    Abstract: In the present technique of a data transmission management, responsive to a reselection during a data transmission, a determination (314, 514) is made as to whether remaining untransmitted data blocks of the data transmission can be sent within an allowed transmission time. If so, the remaining untransmitted data blocks are transmitted (318, 518) to complete the data transmission. If, however, the remaining untransmitted data blocks cannot be transmitted within the allowed transmission time, the communication link is terminated (312, 510) to stop the downlink data transmission with a serving station.

  • System and method for using determination of the operating parameters of a mobile device
    Publication number: 20060068792
    Abstract: A system and method of determined selected operating parameters for a mobile unit (102). Mobile device performance information is monitored in at least one neighboring cell (108, 110, or 112) and mobile device performance information is monitored in a serving cell (106). Selected operating parameters of a mobile device (102) are determined based upon the mobile device performance information in the at least one neighboring cell (108, 110, or 112) and the mobile device performance information in the serving cell (106).

  • Method and apparatus that adapts coding schemes to data resource limits of a mobile station coupled to a peripheral device
    Publication number: 20050190745
    Abstract: A method (800) and apparatus (252, 205) are for adapting coding schemes used on a downlink channel of a wireless packet data communication system (100) to data resource limits of a mobile station (180, 270) coupled to a peripheral device (185, 280). The method includes transmitting (815) a set of data on the downlink channel to the mobile station using a current combination of coding schemes that have a current data rate, monitoring (820) whether a data transfer rate of the peripheral device has been exceeded, and establishing (840) an optimal combination of coding schemes to be the current combination of coding schemes when a search criterion that is based on whether the data transfer rate of the peripheral device has been exceeded is met (826). The monitoring includes determining whether intervals of acknowledgements transmitted from the mobile station on the uplink channel in response to the set of data meet (910) uniformity criteria.
