  • Method and apparatus for resolving half duplex message collisions
    Patent number: 6865176
    Abstract: A method and apparatus resolves message collisions in wireless TDMA packet systems for subscribers that communicate in half duplex modes. In one embodiment, a wireless TDMA network element (100) includes at least one processing device (104) and memory (106), operatively coupled to the processing device (104). The processing device (104) divides an outbound message (300) designated for a first subscriber and produces therefrom an independent first message portion (such as an independent short message) (302) and an independent second message portion (such as an independent longer remaining message) (304). Each of the independent first and second message portions (302,304) are allocated to two different wireless outbound reservations for a common subscriber. The independent first message (302) is transmitted first.
