Apparatus, and associated method, for selectably permitting communication of burst data in a radio communication system

摘要

Apparatus, and an associated method, for selectably permitting data to be scheduled and transmitted to effectuate a data service, such as a WAP-based service. Power control commands generated pursuant to separate communications by way of a dedicated air interface link are monitored. Responsive to values of the power control commands, data is either permitted to be transmitted or prevented form being transmitted, depending upon channel conditions upon which the data bursts are to be transmitted.
