Abstract
The invention relates to allocating memory resources for packet data transfer on a layer 2 link in an acknowledged mode over an air interface between a mobile station and a network. In order to allow dynamic use of existing resources, a common memory is defined to be shared by at least two parallel layer 2 links and memory is allocated for each parallel layer 2 link from the common memory.
Claims8
A method of allocating memory resources in a wireless communication system in which data may be transferred in an acknowledged mode across a layer 2 link between a mobile station and a network, the method comprising:
- defining a common memory to be shared by at least two parallel layer 2 links;
- and
- allocating memory for the parallel layer 2 links from the common memory.
A mobile station comprising:
- a transceiver for receiving and transferring data in an acknowledged mode across a layer 2 link between a mobile station and a network;
- a common memory defined to be shared by at least two parallel layer 2 links;
- and
- a memory allocation mechanism for allocating and releasing memory resources from the common memory for a layer 2 link and adjusting the allocated memory resources for existing layer 2 links.
A network in a wireless communication system in which data may be transferred in an acknowledged mode across a layer 2 link between a mobile station and the network, the network comprising a mechanism to define and update a polling parameter for data transfer over the layer 2 link on the basis of how many layer 2 links are sharing in parallel a common memory defined to be shared by the parallel layer 2 links in the mobile station.
A wireless communication system in which data may be transferred in an acknowledged mode across a layer 2 link between a mobile station and a network, the system comprising:
- a common memory defined to be shared by at least two parallel layer 2 links;
- and
- a memory allocation mechanism for allocating and releasing memory resources from the common memory for a layer 2 link and adjusting the allocated memory resources for existing layer 2 links.
