First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operating a wireless communication system comprising:
- receiving flow identifications (IDs) for media flows that traverse the wireless communication system and that use forward error correction (FEC) packets and a number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID, in a first processor embedded with software instructions comprising a HARQ transmission system;
receiving the flow IDs, configuration data for the flow IDs, and communication status data for the wireless communication system, in a second processor embedded with software instructions comprising a HARQ control system;
determining if the communication status data exceeds a system status threshold, in the HARQ control system;
if the communication status data does not exceed the system status threshold, then maintaining the number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID; and
if the communication status data exceeds the system status threshold, then adjusting the number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID; and
in the HARQ transmission system using the number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID.

Abstract
A wireless communication system optimizes media services over a wireless network. The wireless communication system is HARQ enabled. The wireless communication system receives the number of HARQ retransmissions, communication status data, configuration data, and flow identifications (IDs) for media flows that use FEC packets. The wireless communication system determines if the communication status data exceeds a system status threshold. If the communication status data exceeds the system status threshold, then the wireless communication system adjusts the number of HARQ retransmissions.

11. A wireless communication system to optimize media services over a wireless network comprising:
-
a first processor embedded with software instructions comprising a HARQ transmission system configured to receive flow identifications (IDs) for media flows that traverse the wireless communication system and that use forward error correction (FEC) packets and a number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID; a second processor embedded with software instructions comprising a HARQ control system configured to receive the flow IDs, configuration data for the flow IDs, and communication status data for the wireless communication system and to determine if the communication status data exceeds a system status threshold; if the communication status data does not exceed the system status threshold then the second processor comprising the HARQ control system is configured to maintain the number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID and the first processor comprising the HARQ transmission system configured to use the number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID; and if the communication status data exceeds the system status threshold then the second processor comprising the HARQ control system configured to adjust the number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID and the first processor comprising the HARQ transmission system configured to use the adjusted number of HARQ retransmissions per flow ID. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
