Abstract

A mobile communication device for providing QoS of packet transmission is provided. The packet transmission from and to the mobile communication device is performed by repeating a predetermined number of interlaces by a predetermined cycle. In the mobile communication device, a wireless module transmits a first sub-packet of a first packet and a first sub-packet of a second packet to a mobile communication network, and receives a response message corresponding to the first sub-packet of the first packet from the mobile communication network, wherein the first sub-packet of the first packet is transmitted in a first interlace prior to a second interlace in which the first sub-packet of the second packet is transmitted. Also, a controller module calculates a plurality of QoS parameters for a second sub-packet of the second packet in response to the response message, prepares the second sub-packet of the second packet with the QoS parameters, and transmits the second sub-packet of the second packet in the second interlace to the mobile communication network via the wireless module.

a wireless module transmitting a first sub-packet of a first packet and a first sub-packet of a second packet to a mobile communication network, and receiving a response message corresponding to the first sub-packet of the first packet from the mobile communication network,

wherein the first sub-packet of the first packet is transmitted in a first interlace prior to a second interlace in which the first sub-packet of the second packet is transmitted; and

a controller module calculating a plurality of QoS parameters for a second sub-packet of the second packet in response to the response message, preparing the second sub-packet of the second packet with the QoS parameters, and transmitting the second sub-packet of the second packet in the second interlace to the mobile communication network via the wireless module.

2. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the QoS parameters are calculated according to at least one of the following:

a transmitted Traffic-to-Pilot (T2P) power ratio for a second sub-packet of the first packet;

an average T2P resource utilized for the second sub-packet of the first packet;

an accumulated T2P resource for the second sub-packet of the second packet; and

an average T2P resource for the second sub-packet of the second packet.

3. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the QoS parameters are calculated further according to the first sub-packet of the first packet and the response message.

4. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the QoS parameters comprise information of a packet size and a transmission mode of the second sub-packet of the second packet.

5. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the controller module further performs symbol processing of the second sub-packet of the second packet prior to transmitting the second sub-packet of the second packet in the second interlace to the mobile communication network.

6. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the mobile communication network is a 1x CDMA 2000 system and the QoS of packet transmission is compatible to Reverse Traffic Channel Media Access Control (RTCMAC) Subtype3 Protocol.

7. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-packet of the first packet and the first sub-packet and second sub-packet of the second packet are transmitted on a forward traffic channel, and the response message is transmitted on a reverse traffic channel.

8. A method for providing QoS of packet transmission in a mobile communication device, wherein the packet transmission is performed by repeating a predetermined number of interlaces by a predetermined cycle, comprising:

transmitting a first sub-packet of a first packet and a first sub-packet of a second packet to a mobile communication network, wherein the first sub-packet of the first packet is transmitted in a first interlace prior to a second interlace in which the first sub-packet of the second packet is transmitted;

receiving a response message corresponding to the first sub-packet of the first packet from the mobile communication network;

calculating a plurality of QoS parameters for a second sub-packet of the second packet in response to the response message;

preparing the second sub-packet of the second packet with the QoS parameters; and

transmitting the second sub-packet of the second packet in the second interlace to the mobile communication network.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the QoS parameters are calculated according to at least one of the following:
