Methods and apparatus to communicate data between a wireless network and a mobile station

An apparatus to communicate data to a mobile station based on maximum allowable resources across a plurality of radio block periods, comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• identify a first quantity of resources for use in communicating first data to a mobile station and a second quantity of resources for use in communicating second data to the mobile station, a total quantity of the first and second quantities of resources equal to a maximum allowable cumulative quantity of resources across a plurality of radio block periods including the first and second radio block periods, and the maximum allowable cumulative quantity of resources specifying that both of the first and second data are communicatable in one of (1) exclusively the first radio block period or (2) exclusively the second radio block period;
• and
• send, to the mobile station, the first data and the second data in at least one of the first radio block period or the second radio block period.

An apparatus to communicate capabilities associated with a mobile station, comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• send capabilities information associated with a mobile station to a network, the capabilities information indicating a maximum allowable cumulative quantity of resources that the mobile station is capable of processing across a quantity of downlink radio block periods assigned to the mobile station;
• and
• receive data at the mobile station from the network using all of the maximum allowable cumulative quantity of resources in one or more radio block periods, the one or more downlink radio blocks periods being less than the quantity of downlink radio block periods.
