Abstract:
A method and system is disclosed for admitting a voice call while a mobile station (MS) is engaging in a data call in a telecommunication network. First, a predetermined message is sent from a base station (BS) to the MS prohibiting the MS from initiating a data call for a predetermined period of time after receiving the predetermined message. The BS then releases a communication channel to be used for the voice call, and initiates the voice call, and the data call is reconnected after either voice call is completed.
Abstract:
A method and system applicable within a mobile transmission system for adaptively allocating a downlink data rate to an access terminal to compensate for channel fading. In accordance with the method of the present invention a downlink data rate selected in accordance with a determined signal-to-noise level, wherein the downlink data rate is associated with a specified signal-to-noise threshold to achieve a specified packet error rate. Next, a packet is transmitted to an access terminal at the selected downlink data rate. In response to successfully decoding the packet at the access terminal, the signal-to-noise threshold specified for the selected downlink data rate is decreased such that subsequent data rate selections are adaptively maximized. Responsive to a packet decoding error, the signal-to-noise threshold is abruptly increased to maintain the specified packet error rate.
