Abstract

A method implemented by a subscriber unit for suppressing selective communications during communication rate modification, wherein the subscriber unit is coupled between first and the second communicating nodes, includes establishing a communication channel between the first and the 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 the second data rate; and blocking transmissions from the second node until the second communication rate has been established.
