3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the adjusted number of units remaining comprises a quotient resulting from the step of dividing.
-
4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
prior to the step of determining, detecting that the communication signal should be transferred to another communication unit.
-
5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined number of channel resources is greater than one.
-
6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the wireless communication system comprises a time division multiple access communication system.
-
7. The method according to claim 6, wherein each of the predetermined channel resources comprises a time slot.
-
8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the step of transmitting further comprises:
inserting the adjusted number of units remaining into a power control field of each of the time slots.
-
9. A method for allocating channel resources in a wireless communication system, comprising:
-
receiving a communication signal comprising a plurality of units of information, the communication signal transmitted via a predetermined number of channel resources;
examining the communication signal to determine a number of the plurality of units to be received, the number of the plurality of units to be received representing a number of the plurality of units remainig in at least a portion of the communication signal, the number of the plurality of units remaining adjusted based on the predetermined number of channel resources; and
based on the number of the plurality of units to be received, allocating the predetermined number of channel resources. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
