Abstract
A mechanism by which interrupt frequency mitigation is combined with transmit raw cell status report frequency mitigation is presented. A tx raw cell status report is allowed to occur for only every N raw cell tx slots consumed. When the rate of interrupt requests is mitigated in accordance with holdoff parameters including a holdoff event count corresponding to X interrupt events and a holdoff time interval, and the raw cell status report counts as an interrupt event, an interrupt request is generated for an enabled interrupt if N*X events has occurred or the holdoff time interval has elapsed.
