Abstract
Abstract A wireless telecommunications system includes a selection distribution unit (SDU) for receiving high speed data. The high speed data is stored in a buffer queue within the SDU prior to allocation of high speed data resources by a base station controller. Signaling between the base station controller and the SDU ensures that high speed data resources are not prematurely released. More particularly, constant monitoring of high speed data levels within the buffer queue triggers specific signaling from the SDU to the base station controller to guide the allocation of high speed data resources.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A wireless telecommunications system comprises: a base station controller (BSC) interconnected to a selection distribution unit
(SDU); the SDU interconnected to a packet data network for receiving high speed data
and interconnected to transmission equipment for delivering high speed data to a
particular mobile unit; and the SDU including means for allocating resources associated with high speed
data transmission equipment depending on the amount of high speed data received
from a packet data network.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
29 words
The wireless telecommunications system of claim 1 wherein the high speed
data transmission equipment comprises air link resource equipment disposed within a
cell site of the wireless telecommunications system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The wireless telecommunications system of claim 1 wherein the BSC is
interconnected to the SDU via a control link for exchanging messages.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The wireless telecommunications system of claim 1 wherein the SDU
further comprises a buffer queue for storing incoming high speed data from a packet
data network.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The wireless telecommunications system of claim 4 wherein the buffer
queue has predetermined high speed data levels.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The wireless telecommunications system of claim 4 further comprising a
predetermined high speed data level within the buffer queue for triggering messaging
from the SDU to the BSC.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
66 words
A method for delivering high speed data to a mobile unit comprises: receiving high speed data in a buffer queue of a selection distribution unit
(SDU); a base station controller (BSC) allocating high speed data resources in response
to receiving a high data mark message from the SDU; and the BSC holding allocated high speed data resources in response to receiving a
message from the SDU.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
79 words
A method for efficiently allocating high speed data resources in a wireless
telecommunications system comprises: receiving high speed data in a buffer queue; holding the high speed data in the buffer queue until a sufficient amount
justifies allocation of high speed resources; allocating high speed resources for delivering the high speed data to a mobile
unit; and holding the allocated high speed resources to the mobile unit if additional
incoming high speed data is received in the buffer queue.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
46 words
The method of claim 8 wherein holding the high speed resources comprises
the steps of: receiving a predetermined amount of data within the buffer queue; and extending a signal to a base station controller for controlling allocation of high
speed data resources to the mobile unit.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method of claim 8 further comprising: releasing allocated high speed resources when there is an insufficient amount
of high speed data contained in the buffer queue.
