Abstract
A method and system of integrated rate control for a traffic flow extending across wireline and wireless networks includes determining a power indicator for a wireless link of a traffic flow between a source and a mobile device. Delivery of a feedback message generated by the mobile device is shaped based on the power indicator for the wireless link to control the source transmit rate of the traffic flow.

A method of integrated rate control for a traffic flow, comprising:
- determining a power indicator for a wireless link of a traffic flow between a source and a mobile device;
- and
- shaping based on the power indicator delivery of a feedback message generated by the mobile device to control the source transmit rate of the traffic flow, wherein the power indicator includes an inner power control indicator and an outer power control indicator, the inner power control indicator comprising a signal power of the mobile device, and the outer power control indicator comprising a bit error rate to signal interference ratio.
A system of integrated rate control for a traffic flow, comprising:
- means for determining a power indicator for a wireless link of a traffic flow between a source and a mobile device;
- and
- means for shaping based on the power indicator delivery of a feedback message generated by the mobile device to control the source transmit rate of the traffic flow, wherein the power indicator includes an inner power control indicator and an outer power control indicator, the inner power control indicator comprising a signal power of the mobile device, and the outer power control indicator comprising a bit error rate to signal interference ratio.
A system of integrated rate control for a traffic flow, comprising:
- logic encoded in media;
- and
- the logic operable to determine a power indicator for a wireless link of a traffic flow between a source and a mobile device and to shape based on the power indicator delivery of a feedback message generated by the mobile device to control the source transmit rate of the traffic flow, wherein the power indicator includes an inner power control indicator and an outer power control indicator, the inner power control indicator comprising a signal power of the mobile device, and the outer power control indicator comprising a bit error rate to signal interference ratio.
A method of integrated traffic management for a traffic flow extending across a wireline link in a wireless link, comprising:
- receiving packets at a mobile device from a traffic flow extending across a wireline link and a wireless link;
- generating at the mobile an acknowledgment message for each packet in response to at least successful receipt of the packet;
- at least periodically determining a current power indicator for the wireless link, the power indicator comprising a signal power of the mobile device and an error rate to interference ratio;
- controlling a transmission rate of the acknowledgment messages back to a source of the traffic flow based on the current power indicator;
- and
- controlling a transmission rate of traffic from the source for the traffic flow based on the transmission rate of the acknowledgment messages, wherein the power indicator includes an inner power control indicator and an outer power control indicator, the inner power control indicator comprising a signal power of the mobile device, and the outer power control indicator comprising a bit error rate to signal interference ratio.
A method of integrated rate control for a traffic flow, comprising:
- determining a power indicator for a wireless link of a traffic flow between a source and a mobile device;
- and
- receiving a feedback message generated by the mobile device for control of the source transmit rate of the traffic flow;
- and
- altering a window size in the feedback message based on the power indicator to control the source transmit rate of the traffic flow based on conditions of the wireless link, wherein the power indicator includes an inner power control indicator and an outer power control indicator, the inner power control indicator comprising a signal power of the mobile device, and the outer power control indicator comprising a bit error rate to signal interference ratio.
