Abstract
The method and apparatus adaptively adjust a timer based at least on the frequency of transmitted/received packets and the traffic arrival pattern in a data session in the communication system. The expiration of the timer indicates to suspend the data session in the communication system.
Claims19
A method for management of resources in a communication system, comprising:
- adaptively adjusting a timer based at least on a frequency of received/transmitted packets in a data session in the communication system, expiration of the timer indicating to suspend the data session in the communication system.
An apparatus for management of resources in a communication system, comprising:
- a timer device having a timer value for determining when to suspend a data session in the communication system;
- and
- a timer adjustment device for adjusting the timer value based on at least a frequency of transmitted/received packets in the data session in the communication system.
A method of resource management in a data transmission system, comprising:
- initializing a timer in accordance with a first variable and a second variable;
- receiving a data packet;
- determining a current timer value of the timer upon receiving the data packet;
- determining a through-put timer value based on at least the first variable, a target average packet inter-arrival time, and the current timer value;
- calculating a comparison value based on at least the timer, the locality margin timer value, and the current timer value;
- and
- choosing a packet-driven timer value in accordance with the comparison value;
- and
- updating the timer using the smaller value of the through-put timer value and the packet-driven timer value.
