Appeal No. 2001-0848
Application 09/144,414
The disclosed invention pertains to a method and
apparatus in a wireless messaging system for estimating and using
required delivery parameters to meet a target transmission
reliability.
Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A method in a wireless messaging system for estimating
and using required delivery parameters to meet a target
transmission reliability, the method comprising the steps of:
monitoring delivery of outbound messages to a plurality of
two-way portable messaging units, said outbound messages being of
a type for which an acknowledgement is expected;
recording reliability statistics for said outbound messages
as a function of delivery parameters;
determining the target transmission reliability for sending
a message of a type for which an acknowledgment is not expected;
estimating, from said reliability statistics, the required
delivery parameters for sending said message at said target
transmission reliability; and
transmitting said message in accordance with the required
delivery parameters.
