Abstract
Methods and systems for periodically transmitting traffic channel assignment (TCA) messages in a radio access network are disclosed herein. An exemplary method involves (a) periodically transmitting a capsule that includes one or more TCA messages, wherein an async timer specifies a period that is used to periodically transmit the capsule; and (b) using one or more backhaul-latency indicators as a basis for determining the period that is used to periodically transmit the capsule. The method may further comprise periodically repeating (b) in order to dynamically update the async timer to reflect changes in backhaul latency.
