Methods and apparatus to communicate data between a wireless network and a mobile station
First Claim
1. A method to communicate data to a mobile station based on maximum allowable resources across a plurality of radio block periods, comprising:
- identifying a first quantity of resources for use in communicating first data to a mobile station and a second quantity of resources for use in communicating second data to the mobile station, a total quantity of the first and second quantities of resources equal to a maximum allowable cumulative quantity of resources across a plurality of radio block periods including first and second radio block periods, and the maximum allowable cumulative quantity of resources specifying that both of the first and second data are communicatable in one of (1) the first radio block period exclusive of the second radio block period or (2) the second radio block period exclusive of the first radio block period; and
sending, to the mobile station, the first data and the second data in at least one of the first radio block period or the second radio block period.

Abstract
Example methods and apparatus to communicate data between a wireless network and a mobile station are disclosed. A disclosed example method involves identifying a first quantity of resources for use in communicating first data to a mobile station in a first radio block period and a second quantity of resources for use in communicating second data to the mobile station in a second radio block period. The total quantity of the first and second quantities of resources comply with a maximum allowable quantity of resources specified for a plurality of radio block periods including the first and second radio block periods. The example method also involves sending, to the mobile station, the first data in the first quantity of resources during the first radio block period and the second data in the second quantity of resources during the second radio block period.
