Transmitting data

A data transmission method, wherein a server transmits packets of data to a mobile terminal or radio device and the interval between data packet transmissions from said server does not exceed a specified time interval;

• said mobile terminal or radio device identifies a preferred maximum interval of time between data packet transmissions;
• said mobile terminal or radio device transmits a data packet to said server containing a request that the interval between data packet transmissions does not exceed said preferred maximum interval;
• said server transmits a data packet to said mobile terminal or radio device containing a confirmation of said request;
• and
• data transmission characteristics at said mobile terminal or radio device and at said server are adjusted such that said specified interval substantially satisfies said preferred maximum interval.

A first station configured to receive data packets from a second station, wherein

• the interval between data packet transmissions from said second station to said first station does not exceed a specified time interval;
• and
• said first station includes a processor configured to:
• identify a preferred maximum interval of time between data packet transmissions;
• transmit a data packet to said second station requesting that the interval between data packet transmissions from said first station to said second station does not exceed said preferred maximum interval;
• receive a confirmation of said request from said second station;
• and
• adjust said specified time interval to substantially satisfy said preferred maximum interval.

A computer readable medium having computer readable instructions executable by a computer such that when executing said instructions a computer will perform the steps of

• receiving data packets from a networked device, wherein the interval between data packet transmissions by said networked device does not exceed a specified time interval;
• identifying a preferred maximum interval of time between data packet transmissions;
• transmitting a data packet to said networked device requesting that the interval between data packet transmissions from said networked device does not exceed said preferred maximum interval;
• receiving a confirmation of said request from said networked device;
• and
• adjusting said specified time interval to substantially satisfy said preferred maximum interval.
