Abstract
A method includes, in at least one aspect, switching a mode of operation of a wireless communication device from a first transmission mode to a second transmission mode, wherein the first transmission mode supports transmission of packets comprising header information in accordance with a communication protocol specified for the first transmission mode, and the second transmission mode supports transmission of real-time data packets that do not contain the header information in accordance with the communication protocol specified for the first transmission mode; and configuring a transmission parameter associated with the wireless communication device for operation in the second transmission mode for transmission of a real-time data packet containing real-time data.
