Claim 11:
12. A computing system operable to control application of transmission time interval (TTI) bundling on a radio-frequency (RF) carrier on which an access node provides wireless communication service, wherein the carrier defines air-interface resources, and wherein the access node supports application of TTI bundling on the carrier, the computing system comprising:
a network communication interface;
a one processing unit;
non-transitory data storage; and
program instructions stored in the non-transitory data storage and executable by the processing unit to carry out operations including:
detecting that at least a predefined threshold number of devices of a predefined class are connected with the access node on the carrier, and
responsive to the detecting that at least the predefined threshold number of devices of a predefined class are connected with the access node on the carrier, causing the access node (i) to proactively reserve a portion of the air-interface resources for use to serve communications between the access node and the devices of the predefined class and (ii) to impose a reduction in the application of the TTI bundling by the access node on the carrier.
