Estimating the term…
An access terminal of a wireless communication system includes: an antenna; a transceiver; a load level monitor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to receive, from the transceiver via the antenna, and analyze indications of reverse link wireless network traffic load over a period of time in a region of the wireless network containing the access terminal; a load level module configured to combine the indications over the period of time to determine a load level associated with the access terminal; and a transmission module configured to cause the transceiver to change from transmitting data packets in accordance with a first value of a transmission characteristic to transmitting data packets in accordance with a second value of the transmission characteristic in response to the load level being below a first load threshold value.
An access terminal of a wireless communication system, the access terminal comprising:
A load-adaptive method of transmitting information in a wireless network from an access terminal, the method comprising:
The method of claim 11 wherein the second data packets are transmitted with a lower-delay termination target than the first packets.
A computer program product comprising:
An access terminal configured to provide a load-adaptive termination goal, the access terminal comprising:
The access terminal further comprising load means, communicatively coupled to the transmitting means, for averaging indications over time of traffic load of the wireless network associated with the access terminal and providing an indication of the traffic load to the transmitting means.
