Scheduling and transmitting uplink packets within uplink sub-frames of a wireless system

A method of a wireless system scheduling and transmitting of uplink packets within uplink sub-frames of a wireless system, comprising:

• receiving, from a base station of the wireless system, a size of a standard data unit;
• determining if the standard data unit can be transmitted within a single sub-channel of an uplink sub-frame by comparing the size of the standard data unit with the number of bits that can be transmitted within the single sub-channel of the uplink sub-frame;
• and
• if the size of the standard data unit exceeds the number of bits that can be transmitted within the single sub-channel of the uplink sub-frame, then:
• dividing the sub-channel in to mini-sub-channels;
• determining how many bytes can be transmitted within each mini-sub-channel within the uplink sub-frame;
• dividing the standard data unit into sub-data units, where a size of the sub-data units is dependent on how many bytes can be transmitted within each mini-sub-channel of the uplink sub-frame;
• a subscriber unit transmitting the sub-data units over multiple uplink sub-frames;
• and
• reducing power back-off of a power amplifier used for transmission of the sub-data units transmitted over the mini-sub-channels.

A method of a wireless subscriber scheduling and transmitting of uplink packets within uplink sub-frames of a wireless system, comprising:

• determining a size of a standard data unit;
• determining if the standard data unit can be transmitted within a single sub-channel of an uplink sub-frame by comparing the size of the standard data unit with a number of bits that can be transmitted within the single sub-channel of the uplink sub-frame as determined by an uplink quality;
• and
• if the standard data unit is too large to be transmitted within the single sub-channel of the uplink sub-frame, then:
• dividing the sub-channel in to mini-sub-channels;
• determining how many bytes can be transmitted within each mini-sub-channel within the uplink sub-frame;
• dividing the standard data unit into sub-data units, where a size of the sub-data units is dependent on how many bytes can be transmitted within each mini-sub-channel of the uplink sub-frame;
• transmitting the sub-data units over at least one of the mini-sub-channels of a single uplink sub-frame, and over multiple uplink sub-frames;
• and
• reducing power back-off of a power amplifier used for transmission of the sub-data units transmitted over the mini-sub-channels.
