A wireless communication system () includes a wireless network () that selectively modifies an aggregation of voice over internet protocol wireless transmissions. In one example, a mobile station geometry provides an indication whether modification of the aggregation is desirable. For example, a mobile station with a better geometry allows for a higher level of aggregation. Another disclosed example includes determining a current cell load condition and increasing the amount of aggregation and the level of aggregation as cell load conditions increase. Another disclosed technique includes staggering the scheduling of aggregated packets to avoid delays at a scheduler. One or more of the disclosed techniques may be used to efficiently transmit voice over internet protocol communications.

Techniques for efficient control of aggregating wireless voice communications

Disclosed is a method for queuing in a communications network. The method positions data related to a user based on a grade of service (GoS) assigned to the user. The positioning of the data is accomplished according to a throughput range assigned to the user.

Method for differentiating services and users in communication networks

An apparatus and a method for managing resources for efficient packet data transmission. More specifically, there is provided a method for allocating transmission resources in a base station comprising determining a largest supportable packet size for a highest priority user, wherein the determination is based at least partially on the available modulation types, a total number of codes available for packet transmission, a total amount of available transmission power available for packet transmission, and frame durations supported by a base station.

Method and apparatus for managing packet data resources

Disclosed is a method of integrating voice and data services onto a same frequency channel using available transmit power information to determine data rates, wherein the available transmit power information indicates an amount of transmit power available for future data transmissions over one or more data channels. In a 'distributed' embodiment, a transmitter or base station transmits, via a forward link, an available power message to a receiver or mobile-telephone indicating an amount of available transmit power at some future time t+z. The mobile-telephone performs signal-to-interference measurements corresponding to the received forward link and received interference, and uses such signal-to-interference measurements and the available power message to determine a data rate that can be supported by the mobile-telephone. Preferably, the determined data rate corresponds to a maximum data rate at which a minimum level of quality of service can be achieved at the mobile-telephone. In a 'centralized' embodiment, the mobile-telephone transmits the signal-to-interference measurements to the base station, and the base station determines the data rate based on the available transmit power at future time t+z.
