1. A method for a radio access network (RAN) to manage transmission of data in an upcoming series of timeslots on a forward link air interface from the RAN, wherein the RAN currently has data to transmit to a first number, C, of devices, and wherein the RAN has currently allocated the timeslots for use to carry data to just a second number, N, of those C devices (wherein N<

  • C), thereby defining for the timeslots a total of N scheduled devices and a total of C−

    N unscheduled devices, the method comprising;

    the RAN determining that N is less than a defined threshold portion of C;

    responsive to the determining, (i) the RAN de-scheduling, from the timeslots, a third number, R, of the N scheduled devices, and (ii) newly scheduling, in the timeslots that were allocated to carry data to the R devices, transmissions to the >

    R of the C−

    N unscheduled devices in place of the de-scheduled R devices; and

    the RAN transmitting in the timeslots to at least the >

    R newly scheduled devices.
