ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use in allocating resource in a wireless communication system employing transfer communication protocol (TCP) based data transfer between a network and a wireless subscriber communication unit comprises a scheduler located in the network, wherein the scheduler buffers a TCP data segment for downlink (DL) transmission. A transmitter is arranged to transmit the buffered TCP data segment to the UE; wherein the message indicates an allocation of DL resources plus sufficient uplink resources to transfer a stand-alone ACK data segment. In this manner, for example in large bulk data transfer cases, a reduced latency may be achieved that may lead to improved throughput, due to the fact that the overall throughput may be limited by the window size (i.e. number of unacknowledged segments) rather than the throughput possible across the air interface.
