METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FAST CLOSED-LOOP RATE ADAPTATION IN A HIGH RATE PACKET DATA TRANSMISSION

摘要

In a high data rate communication system capable of variable rate transmission, an open loop rate control can be adjusted with a closed loop rate control to maximize throughput. An access point generates interleaved multi-slot packets that allow an access terminal to transmit indicator messages to the access point in accordance with recently received data carried within slots of the multi- slot packets.
