  • Setting transmission length based on estimated error rate
    Patent number: 7565584
    Abstract: Based on an expected error rate for a wireless transmission, the length of the transmission may be limited so that the probability of an error in one or more particular data segments is no greater than a predetermined threshold value. The expected error rate and/or the threshold value may be periodically changed, based on various criteria.
    Type: Grant

  • Methods and apparatus for providing a header resynchronization system for a broadband wireless access network
    Patent number: 7548559
    Abstract: Embodiments of methods and apparatus for providing a header resynchronization system for a broadband wireless access network are generally described herein. In various embodiments, the resynchronization system may avoid unnecessarily discarding one or more portions of data within a data region of a Protocol Data Unit. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Prioritizing data in a wireless transmission
    Publication number: 20070274209
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention may organize prioritized data segments that are to be included in the same transmission, such that higher priority segments are sent earlier in the transmission. If a data error occurs during the transmission that renders the remainder of the transmission unusable, the higher priority segments may have already been received. Such prioritization may be especially helpful when the segments are allowed to have variable lengths, and each segment contains a field specifying its length.
