Abstract
A wireless communications network includes a mobile station and wireless access equipment. In communications between the wireless access equipment and the mobile station (such as in the forward link), a data rate is specified. However, the effective data rate can be reduced (with respect to the specified data rate) if it is determined that the specified data rate is not needed. In one arrangement, the effective data rate is reduced by waiting to fill a physical layer packet before transmission.
