First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, implemented in an apparatus, for scheduling data transmission, comprising:
- determining an opportunity level for an interval in accordance with at least one of an instantaneous quality metric of a reverse link channel in the interval, an average quality metric of the reverse link channel, and an impatience function;
transmitting a request for transmission in the interval, the request comprising the opportunity level; and
receiving a scheduling decision for data transmission on the reverse link channel in response to the request.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for a data transmission in a communication system are disclosed. Each of a subset of plural access terminals desiring to transmit user data in an interval transmits a request to transmit in the interval to an access network. The access network makes a decision to schedule at least one of the subset of the plural access terminals to transmit in the interval in accordance with the request. At least one access point of the access network transmits the decision to the plural access terminals.
