<p>A packet data communication system that includes multiple mobile stations (MS's), each having a jitter buffer, and a wireless infrastructure having corresponding base sites serving the MS's, controls a size or depth of each jitter buffer. The jitter buffer size or depth is controlled based on a number of retransmissions of erroneously received data employed by the system, a radio frequency load of a base site (602-622), and a round trip time period in the system for acknowledgments and corresponding retransmissions. The jitter buffer size or depth may be further controlled by use of a supplemental channel in at least one of multiple forward links and multiple reverse links to expedite a transmission of data and a corresponding filling up of the jitter buffer, and by reduction of a waiting period for retransmission of the acknowledgments. Preferably, the communication system is a code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system. The resequesncing buffer radio link protocol (RLP) frames.</p> |
