In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a decoder connected to a wireless receiver for communication with a remote apparatus, first error data that indicates a current error rate that corresponds to a first inbound data packet received from the remote apparatus. Based in part on the first error data, it is determined whether the remote apparatus should increase a current signal to noise ratio. If so, then a first outbound data packet is sent to an encoder connected to a wireless transmitter. The first outbound data packet includes first link conditioning request data that indicates a current signal to noise ratio for one or more data packets received from the remote apparatus based at least in part on the first error data. The remote apparatus increases signal to noise ratio of transmissions in response to receiving the outbound data packet.

Managing bit error rates on point-to-point wireless links in a network

A first router receives an original IS-634 standard frame formatted message over an A-bis interface from a base transceiver station. The first router identifies header information bits in the message for compression. The first router suppresses selected ones of the identified header information bits and encapsulates the message into a packet. A second router receives the packet from the first router and extracts the message from the packet. The second router reconstructs the selected ones of the header information bits that were suppressed by the first router. The second router regenerates the original IS-634 standard frame formatted message and transports the message to a base station controller over the A-bis interface.
