1. A method of operating a wireless communication device, comprising:
- transmitting, in a first control message, a first downlink rate, wherein the first downlink rate is based on a latency of an inter-processor communication link associated with the wireless communication device;
receiving, for a first time period, first downlink data at the first downlink rate; and
receiving, following the first time period, second downlink data at a second downlink rate that is higher than the first downlink rate.

Abstract
A technique for operating a wireless communication device includes transmitting a first downlink rate in a first control message. The first downlink rate is based on a latency of an inter-processor communication link associated with the wireless communication device. First downlink data at the first downlink rate is then received for a first time period. Following the first time period, second downlink data is received at a second downlink rate that is higher than the first downlink rate.

13. A method of operating a wireless communication device, comprising:
-
detecting a first event associated with initiation of an operation within the wireless communication device; transmitting a first flow control message to initiate a reduction in a flow rate associated with downlink data to a level below a first downlink rate; and initiating the operation following the transmitting of the first flow control message. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A method of operating a base station, comprising:
-
receiving, in a first control message, a first downlink rate, wherein the first downlink rate is based on a latency of an inter-processor communication link associated with a subscriber station that is in communication with the base station; transmitting, for a first time period, first downlink data at the first downlink rate; and transmitting, following the first time period, second downlink data at a second downlink rate that is higher than the first downlink rate. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
