Abstract
In a wireless telecommunications network, wireless transmissions are carried via an RF medium between users and a central wireless transceiver, or base station processor. A subscriber access unit connected to a user device such as a user PC is employed to transmit wireless messages to and from the base station processor. Multiple, simultaneous wireless transmissions to the base station from different subscriber access units can have a tendency to interfere with each other. Subscriber access units employing an omnidirectional antenna r which are highly mobile will tend to experience more interference than stationary users or subscriber access units employing a directional antenna. The allocation of wireless transmission resources to retransmit wireless messages over a lossy link can have a detrimental effect on wireless resources available for other users. A system which allows a subscriber access unit to register device capabilities with a base station processor to determine the degree to which a particular subscriber access unit may be prone to interference provides computation and adjustment of transmission constraints for each subscriber access unit accordingly to maximize throughput.
