Abstract:
1. A computing device for processing data in a fixed wireless communication system that comprises a plurality of computing devices, a base unit, a forward communication channel from the base unit to the plurality of computing devices, and a shared reverse communication channel from the plurality of computing devices to the base unit wherein each communication channel comprises a plurality of time slots, the computing device comprising: a first module configured to detect an idle status indicator transmitted on a first time slot on the forward channel; a second module configured to transmit a first portion of a data package to the base unit on the reverse communication channel in a time slot following a detection of an idle status; a third module configured to monitor an idle status indicator and a decode indicator in time slots along the forward channel after transmitting the first portion, wherein the computing device communicates with a base unit such that the base unit: a fourth module configured, in response to the detecting of a change in idle status, to delay transmission of a remainder of the data package even if the first portion of data package was successfully received by the base unit.
