System and method for uplink data transfer in dynamic timeslot reduction

摘要

A method for communicating with a network is presented. The method includes receiving an assignment of first timeslots for uplink communications, and receiving an instruction to reduce monitoring to a set of timeslots. The set of timeslots has a number of timeslots less than a number of timeslots to be monitored in accordance with the assignment. The method includes receiving a negative acknowledgement of a data block previously transmitted to the network, and, after receiving the instruction to reduce monitoring and the negative acknowledgement, transmitting a new data block to the network before retransmitting the data block previously transmitted to the network.

1. A method for communicating with a network, comprising:
receiving, by a mobile station, an assignment of a set of timeslots for uplink communications; receiving, by the mobile station, an instruction to monitor a reduced set of timeslots, the reduced set of timeslots having a number of timeslots less than a number of timeslots to be monitored in accordance with the assignment; receiving, by the mobile station, a negative acknowledgement of a data block previously transmitted to the network; and in response to receiving the instruction to monitor the reduced set of timeslots and receiving the negative acknowledgement, transmitting, by the mobile station, a new data block to the network before retransmitting the data block previously transmitted to the network, wherein transmitting the new data block includes using a resource on at least one timeslot that corresponds to a timeslot that is not within the reduced set of timeslots.
