Power boosting in a wireless communication system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for transmission of packetized data in a wireless communication system having a designated packet error rate, the method comprising:
- determining at a transceiver a first number of installments for transmission of a first subpacket of data;
determining a second number of installments for transmission of the first subpacket of data, the second number less than the first number;
determining power boost gain factors for the second number of installments using latency tolerance information, the power boost gain factors satisfying the designated packet error rate;
power boosting transmissions of the second number of installments of the first subpacket of data by applying the power boost gain factors; and
terminating transmission of the first subpacket of data after the second number of installments.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for power boosting a portion of installments in transmission of a packet of data. The power boosting incorporates a power boost factor for each installment. On receipt of a negative acknowledgement after the power boosted portion of installments, transmission of the subpacket is terminated, and processing passed to a higher layer.
