摘要： Various embodiments are described to address the need for channel maintenance/channel quality signaling that can better utilize reverse link capacity and conserve battery life. Generally expressed, a remote unit (101) enters (403) a high-rate-channel-maintenance mode in which it transmits channel maintenance signaling. When a low-rate condition is met (405), the remote unit enters (407) a low-rate-channel-maintenance mode in which it transmits channel maintenance signaling at either a lower rate or a lower transmit power than when in the high-rate-channel-maintenance mode. Then when a high-rate condition is met (409), the remote unit reenters the high-rate-channel-maintenance mode.

摘要： A process (10) to facilitate determination of a particular data rate to use when communicating data with respect to a mobile station comprises providing (11) historical information regarding past radio frequency channel conditions, data quantity information (12) as corresponds to a current data file to be transmitted, and assessing (13) historical data transmission as correspond to the mobile station.

摘要： The need to decrease paging-related delays in wireless systems (100) is addressed by embodiments herein. A RAN (201) anticipates that an MS (120) is likely to be a target of communication not yet initiated. In one embodiment, a traffic channel is assigned to the MS, when a loading level of a serving cell of the MS is below an assignment threshold. This avoids paging-related delays for the MS should the MS become a target of communication. In another embodiment, the MS is signaled to transition to at least one operational mode in which paging-related delays for the MS are reduced. Such modes include a semi-dormant mode, an unslotted mode, a control hold mode, a speculative scanning mode, and a reduced slot cycle index (RSCI) mode. This allows the MS to begin participating in communication more quickly than it otherwise would, should communication targeting the MS be initiated.

摘要翻译： 通过本文的实施例来解决在无线系统（100）中减少寻呼相关延迟的需要。 RAN（201）预期MS（120）可能是尚未启动的通信目标。 在一个实施例中，当MS的服务小区的负载水平低于分配阈值时，业务信道被分配给MS。 如果MS成为通信对象，则可以避免MS的寻呼相关延迟。 在另一个实施例中，MS用信号通知转换到至少一个操作模式，其中针对MS的寻呼相关延迟减少。 这种模式包括半休眠模式，非锁定模式，控制保持模式，推测扫描模式和缩短的时隙周期索引（RSCI）模式。 如果启动针对MS的通信，则MS可以比其他方式更快地开始参与通信。

摘要： In general, paging-related delays are reduced by empowering an idle mobile (120) to initiate a transition to semi-dormant, unslotted mode, and/or RSCI modes, based on triggers (304) known to the MS. This is an efficient manner (in terms of both RF and battery-life cost considerations) in which to use semi-dormant and RSCI modes (306). If the MS (120) is able to anticipate a paging channel (PCH) message (for example, after sending or receiving an SMS or presence update), then the MS can intelligently reduce its slot cycle index for a short period of time, sacrificing a small amount of battery life, when the R-SCI is most likely to deliver improved service. Moreover, if the MS is low mobility (i.e. low idle handoff rate), then the MS can transition to a semi-dormant mode with very little cost, since it will not need to send many radio environment reports.

摘要翻译： 通常，通过基于MS已知的触发（304），通过授权空闲移动台（120）来启动向半休眠，未分配模式和/或RSCI模式的转换来减少寻呼相关的延迟。 这是使用半休眠和RSCI模式的有效方式（在RF和电池寿命成本考虑方面）（306）。 如果MS（120）能够预期寻呼信道（PCH）消息（例如，在发送或接收SMS或存在更新之后），则MS可以在短时间内智能地减少其时隙周期索引，牺牲 少量的电池寿命，当R-SCI最有可能提供更好的服务。 此外，如果MS是低移动性（即低空闲切换速率），则MS可以以非常少的成本转换到半休眠模式，因为它不需要发送许多无线电环境报告。
