Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium encoded with computer-executable instructions for transmitting delay sensitive packets. A data rate control index is received from a mobile station for use in transmitting the delay sensitive packets to the mobile station. A transmission format is selected using the received data rate control index to form a selected transmission format. The selected transmission format uses a payload size that is smaller than a largest compatible payload size for another transmission format corresponding to the data rate control index and is selected to reduce transmission time of the packets. The delay sensitive packets are transmitted to the mobile station using the selected transmission format.
