1. A method of reducing a time delay between an application output at a subscriber station and uplink resource allocation for the subscriber station, comprising:
- scheduling, between periodic uplink resource allocations, one or more probe uplink resource allocations for the subscriber station;
receiving, at an access point, respective information in at least one of the one or more probe uplink resource allocations; and
scheduling subsequent periodic uplink resource allocations based on at least one of the one or more probe uplink resource allocations by time-shifting the subsequent periodic uplink resource allocations to substantially coincide with one of the one or more probe uplink resource allocations when the subscriber station utilizes at least one of the one or more probe uplink resource allocations.

Abstract
A technique for reducing a time delay between an application output at a subscriber station and uplink resource allocation for the subscriber station includes scheduling, between periodic uplink resource allocations, one or more probe uplink resource allocations for the subscriber station. Next, respective information in at least one of the one or more probe uplink resource allocations is received at an access point. Finally, subsequent periodic uplink resource allocations are scheduled based on at least one of the one or more probe uplink resource allocations.

6. A wireless communication system, comprising:
-
a subscriber station; and a base station in communication with the subscriber station, wherein the base station is configured to; schedule, between periodic uplink resource allocations, one or more probe uplink resource allocations for the subscriber station; receive respective information in at least one of the one or more probe uplink resource allocations; and schedule subsequent periodic uplink resource allocations based on at least one of the one or more probe uplink resource allocations by time-shifting the subsequent periodic uplink resource allocations to substantially coincide with one of the one or more probe uplink resource allocations when the subscriber station utilizes at least one of the one or more probe uplink resource allocations. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
