METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING DATA IN PACKET DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a jitter buffer delay while reducing interference to other communication. SOLUTION: A wireless communication system transmits data over a first link from a first mobile station to an infrastructure at a first speaker link power level, and over a second link from the infrastructure to a second MS at a first listener link power level, during a first time period. Each of the first power levels is designed to avoid the need for retransmissions of erroneously received data. Upon expiration of the first time period, data is transmitted over the first and second links at reduced power levels and retransmissions of erroneously received data can be made. Error rate targets may be adjusted after expiration of the first time period. In addition, the power levels and error rate targets may be individually adjusted on a link-by-link basis based on the RF loading of each link or based on error measurement criteria determined for each link.
