BASE STATION-CENTRIC METHOD FOR MANAGING BANDWIDTH AND QOS IN ERROR-PRONE SYSTEM

摘要

A wireless transmission system for multimedia information having plural layers includes a base station (BTS) that can select which layers to transmit based on reported channel conditions, mobile location, and/or forward error correction (FEC) used for a particular layer. A respective FEC rate or transmission power can be dynamically established for each layer upon request from at least one mobile station dependent on available bandwidth and/or current channel usage and/or priorities.
