Claims18
A cellular telephone system, comprising:
- a mobile station that is operable to determine a desired number of retransmissions, where the desired number of retransmissions is based on an operational parameter associated with the mobile station and is less than a maximum number of retransmission that said mobile station is capable of accepting;
- and
- a base station capable of negotiating with said mobile station, the base station being adapted to receive said desired number of retransmission from said mobile station and operable to formulate a final negotiated number of allowable retransmissions using the desired number of retransmissions and the maximum number of allowable retransmissions.
A method of operating a cellular telephone network, comprising:
- determining a maximum number of allowable retransmissions to a mobile station;
- calculating a desired number of retransmissions at the mobile station, wherein the desired number of retransmissions is based on an operational parameter associated with the mobile station;
- communicating the desired number of retransmissions and the maximum number of allowable retransmissions from the mobile station to a base station;
- and
- formulating a final negotiated number of allowable retransmissions using the desired number of retransmissions and the maximum number of allowable retransmissions.
