Abstract:
In one embodiment of the present invention, an access point (111) receives a multicast packet intended for a particular multicast group. Upon receipt, the access point only rebroadcast the multicast packet over a wireless segment if it determines that there is at least one wireless subscriber unit (131) belonging to the particular multicast group and associated with the access point that did not originate the multicast packet. Optionally, if the multicast packet signals an automatic rebroadcast of the multicast packet over the wireless segment, the access point automatically rebroadcasts the multicast packet without determining whether there is at least one wireless subscriber unit belonging to the particular multicast group and associated with the access point that did not originate the multicast packet. (See figure 1)
Abstract:
A transmitting device (100) transmits a signal on a forward channel (106) at a predetermined power level. Upon receipt of the signal, a receiving device (102), estimates a signal quality for the signal. If the signal quality is below a threshold, the receiving device transmits a power control message on at least a portion of a single reverse channel (104), wherein the power control message requests an increase in transmit power for subsequently received signals, and wherein the single reverse channel is shared by a plurality of receiving devices. The transmitting device adjusts the transmit power level based on observing the reverse channel.

Abstract:
A two way radio (300) includes a scalable speech coder (306) and a scalable channel coder (308) controlled via a supporting protocol that transmits predetermined digital audio quality and predetermined audio output bit rate information at regular intervals.
