Patent ID: 7724683

Claim:
A method of communicating comprising: setting up a transmission configuration for a first and a second media access control (MAC) interface; sending a first transmission utilizing the first MAC interface; sending a second transmission utilizing the second MAC interface; determining a communication performance parameter related to at least the first transmission, wherein determining the communication performance parameter comprises detecting a transmission latency associated with the first transmission, wherein determining a communication performance parameter comprises calculating a number of slots for the transmission by selecting a maximum between a predefined maximum number of slots, a ceiling of allocation of data per a minimum slot length, a number of intervals in a busiest traffic specification admitted and a predetermined minimum number of slots; and modifying the transmission configuration of first MAC interface based on the communication performance, wherein modifying the transmission configuration comprises increasing slots allocated for the first transmission in response to detecting the transmission latency associated with the first transmission while less than a maximum number of slots are allocated for the first transmission.
