Abstract:
1. A method for determining a coding type to be used to dynamically encode a control channel for transmitting messages to a wireless device based on capability information associated with the wireless device, the method comprising: determining that a wireless device has registered with a base station; retrieving a device profile associated with the registered wireless device; in response to retrieving the device profile, determining a device type and set of performance capabilities associated with the registered wireless device; analyzing network performance statistics for a plurality of wireless device types and for the registered wireless device; comparing the network performance statistics of the plurality of wireless device types and the registered wireless device; and determining a coding type for a control channel for sending messages to the registered wireless device based on the device type, set of performance capabilities associated with the registered wireless device, and comparison of the network performance statistics of the plurality of wireless device types and the registered wireless device, wherein the coding type specifies a number of message repeats.
