Method and apparatus for remotely increasing available processing time at a wireless device while maintaining response delay time

摘要

A first wireless device includes a coding module that encodes packets and adds dummy data to a second packet. A first receiver (i) in response to transmission of a first packet, receives a first acknowledgement (ACK) signal, and (ii) in response to transmission of the second packet, receives a second ACK signal. Reception of the first ACK signal is delayed a first delay period from an end of the transmission of the first packet. Reception of the second ACK signal is delayed a second delay period from an end of the transmission of the dummy data. The coding module, prior to the transmission of the second packet and based on time to process the first and second packets at a second wireless device, determines the amount of dummy data to add to the second packet such that the first delay period is a same length as the second delay period.
