Apparatus, system, and method for managing reverse link communication
First Claim
1. A method for managing resources of a communication link from a mobile station to a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving an authorized power level, the authorized power level indicating allowance of transmissions of a first payload size transmitting at a standard power level or a second payload size transmitting at a boosted power level;
determining a hybrid automatic response (HARQ) latency time for transmitting a data packet to the base station; and
depending on HARQ latency time, either transmitting the data packet at the second payload size using the boosted power level or transmitting the data packet at the first payload size using the standard power level.

Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method efficiently manage reverse link resources by allowing a mobile station to select between transmitting a payload at a standard power level and transmitting a smaller payload at a boosted power level. The mobile station, therefore, can autonomously select a QoS (Quality of Service) level for physical layer packets. Based on reverse link transmission information received from a base station, the mobile station derives a reverse link transmission guideline defining the power levels and associated payloads for at least a standard service and boosted service. The mobile station selects a reverse link transmission power level from a plurality of power levels including at least a standard reverse link transmission power level associated with a standard payload size and a boosted reverse link transmission power level associated with a boosted payload size where the standard payload size is greater than the boosted payload size.
