Abstract

A method implemented by a base station for suppressing selective communications during communication rate modification, wherein the base station is coupled between first and said second communicating nodes, includes establishing a communication channel between said first and said second nodes at a first data rate; detecting a transmission from the first node on the channel; determining whether the transmission requires a change in data rates to a second data rate; switching the communication channel to said second data rate; and blocking transmissions from the second node until the second communication rate has been established.
