Abstract:
1. A method of operating a wireless access system for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) block error rate (BLER) control in wireless communications comprising: receiving a media packet; determining a first time difference between an allowable end-to-end delay for the media packet and a first consumed end-to-end delay for the media packet; processing the first time difference to select a first HARQ BLER; transferring the media packet from the wireless access system using the first HARQ BLER; identifying a HARQ negative acknowledgement (NACK) for the media packet; in response to the NACK for the media packet, determining a second time difference between the allowable end-to-end delay for the media packet and a second consumed end-to-end delay for the media packet; processing the second time difference to select a second HARQ BLER; and initiating a transfer process for the media packet based on the second HARQ BLER.
