Abstract:
1. A method comprising: generating, with a base station, a message having an indication of a target error rate for a selected data transfer flow, wherein the target error rate is different than a previous target error rate for the selected data transfer flow, wherein the base station communicates with multiple remote devices; transmitting, according to a wireless communications protocol that conforms to an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 standard, the message to a selected remote device having multiple service flows including at least the selected data transfer flow via a basic data transfer flow, wherein the message includes parameters to be used for uplink communications by the selected remote device; and transmitting, with the selected remote device, subsequent data via the selected data transfer flow and not applying the target error rate to other service flows, according to the wireless communications protocol, using data transfer parameters selected based, at least in part, on the indication of target error rate.
