<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of controlling transmission rate with low overhead. <P>SOLUTION: In one aspect, a first signal indicates an acknowledgement of a decoded sub-packet and whether or not a rate control command is generated, and a second signal conditionally indicates the rate control command when one is generated. In another aspect, a grant may be generated concurrently with the acknowledgement. In yet another aspect, a mobile station monitors the first signal, conditionally monitors the second signal as indicated by the first signal, and may monitor a third signal comprising a grant. In yet another aspect, one or more base stations transmit one or more of the various signals. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of providing the flexibility of grant-based control while utilizing lower overhead when rate control commands are used, thus increasing system utilization, and increasing capacity and throughput. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
