Abstract
In a communication system, a method and an apparatus provide for efficient communications of data rate control information. A mobile station communicates a request on a data channel for reception of a data file on a traffic channel. In response to the request, a transmitter in mobile station starts communication of data rate control information on a data rate control channel. After concluding the delivery of a requested data file by a receiver in mobile station, transmitter ceases communication of data rate control information on data rate control channel from mobile station.
Claims16
A method for communicating data rate control information comprising:
- communicating a request from a mobile station to a base station for delivery of a data file on a traffic channel from the base station to the mobile station;
- communicating data rate control information on a data rate control channel from the mobile station to the base station;
- and
- ceasing communication of data rate control information on the data rate control channel from said mobile station to said base station if the delivery of a data file on a traffic channel from said base station to said mobile station is concluded.
A method for communicating data rate control information comprising:
- communicating data rate control information on a data rate control channel from a mobile station to a base station;
- concluding a delivery of a data file on a reverse traffic channel from the mobile station to the base station;
- and
- ceasing, in response to the concluding of the delivery of the data file on the reverse traffic channel from the mobile station to the base station, communicating data rate control information on the data rate control channel from the mobile station to the base station.
A mobile station comprising:
- means for receiving data rate control information;
- and
- means for controlling the means for receiving data rate control information, wherein the means for controlling allows transmission of data rate control information, through the means for receiving, on a data rate control channel from the mobile station during a busy open state and after transitioning from the busy open state to an idle open state, ceases transmission of data rate control information from the mobile station.
An apparatus for communication comprising:
- a gate configured to receive data rate control information;
- and
- a controller configured to control the gate, wherein the controller allows transmission of data rate control information, through the gate, during a busy open state and further wherein after transitioning from the busy open state to an idle open state, the controller ceases transmission of data rate control information.
A method of communication comprising:
- receiving data rate control information via a gate;
- and
- controlling the gate by allowing transmission of data rate control information, through the gate, during a busy open state and by ceasing transmission of data rate control information after transitioning from the busy open state to an idle open state.
A method for communicating data rate control information comprising:
- determining a state of a connection between a mobile station and a base station;
- transmitting data rate control information from the mobile station to the base station if the connection state is busy;
- and
- ceasing the transmission of data rate control information if the connection state transitions from busy to idle.
An apparatus for communicating data rate control information comprising:
- means for determining a state of a connection between a mobile station and a base station;
- means for transmitting data rate control information from the mobile station to the base station if the connection state is busy;
- and
- means for ceasing the transmission of data rate control information if the connection state transitions from busy to idle.
