Abstract
The invention discloses a method for boosting the downlink transmission rate to a mobile station by a processing unit thereof, including the steps of requesting a base station for a bandwidth amount for transmission of at least one un-generated acknowledgement (ACK) packet, generating the ACK packet or packets, and instructing an RF module to transmit the ACK packet or packets to the base station following a notification from the base station indicating that the requested bandwidth amount has been allocated.
Claims19
A method for boosting the downlink transmission rate to a mobile station by a media access control (MAC) unit thereof, comprising the steps of:
- requesting a base station for a bandwidth amount for transmission of at least one un-generated acknowledgement (ACK) packet;
- generating the ACK packet or packets;
- and
- instructing an RF module to transmit the ACK packet or packets to the base station following a notification from the base station indicating that the requested bandwidth amount has been allocated.
A system for boosting the downlink transmission, comprising:
- an RF module;
- and
- a media access control (MAC) unit coupled to the RF module, requesting a base station for a bandwidth amount for transmission of at least one un-generated acknowledgement (ACK) packet, generating the ACK packet or packets, and directing the RF module to transmit the generated ACK packet or packets to the base station following a notification from the base station indicating that the requested bandwidth amount has been allocated.
