Abstract:
A system for controlling data flow to a wireless user over a wireless network comprising:an inter-working gateway connected to a data network, the inter-working gateway being operable to receive a plurality of network data transmissions, each having a network data size, from the data network for sending to the wireless user; a switch center connected to the inter-working gateway for receiving a plurality of gateway data transmissions, each having a gateway data size, from the inter-working gateway for sending to the wireless user, the switch center including a switch buffer for storing data from the plurality of gateway data transmissions, the switch buffer having a switch buffer size; a wireless link for communicating a plurality of switch data transmissions, each having a switch data size, between the wireless user and the switch center; and a data flow controller in the inter-working gateway for controlling the gateway data size of the gateway data transmissions by determining an available buffer size in the switch buffer; wherein the gateway data size is less than or equal to the available buffer size.
