Claim
1. A method comprising:
transmitting full rate vocoder frames using an amount of OFDM time/frequency resource;
for at least one non-full rate vocoder frame, transmitting a first sub-packet transmission of each non-full rate vocoder frame using the same amount of OFDM time/frequency resource as used for the full rate vocoder frames;
matching vocoder frame size for each non-full rate vocoder frame to the amount of OFDMA time/frequency resource by employing an increased coding rate relative to a full rate frame, wherein the matching causes early termination of a HARQ retransmission; and
using resources freed up by the early termination for allocation to other wireless stations.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the different coding rate used for full rate, and non-full rate are predetermined and known to a wireless station.
3. The method of claim 1, applied for downlink transmission from a base station to a plurality of wireless stations, the method further comprising:
at least one wireless station using blind rate detection to detect an actual frame rate transmitted by the base station.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one non-full rate comprises rates � and �.
5. A system, comprising:
radio circuitry; and
a controller coupled to the radio circuitry, wherein the controller is configured to:

10. The non-transitory, computer accessible memory medium of claim 9, wherein the different coding rate used for full rate, and non-full rate are predetermined and known to a wireless station.
11. The non-transitory, computer accessible memory medium of claim 9, wherein the at least one non-full rate comprises rates � and �.
12. A method comprising:
a wireless station receiving full rate vocoder frames using an amount of OFDM time/frequency resource;

use resources freed up by the early termination for allocation to other wireless stations.
13. The method of claim 12, further comprising:
storing the different coding rate used for full rate, and non-full rate prior to performing said receiving the at least one non-full rate vocoder frame.
14. The method of claim 12, wherein the at least one non-full rate comprises rates � and �.
15. A wireless station, comprising:
one or more antennas for performing wireless reception; and
processing hardware coupled to the one or more antennas;
wherein the wireless station is configured to:
receive full rate vocoder frames using an amount of OFDM time/frequency resource;
receive at least one non-full rate vocoder frame, wherein a first sub-packet of each non-full rate vocoder frame uses the same amount of OFDM time/frequency resource as used for the full rate vocoder frames, wherein the vocoder frame size for each non-full rate vocoder frame is matched to the amount of OFDMA time/frequency resource by employing an increased coding rate relative to a full rate frame wherein matching the vocoder frame size causes early termination of a HARQ retransmission; and
use resources freed up by the early termination for allocation to other wireless stations.
16. The wireless station of claim 15, wherein the wireless station comprises a memory and wherein the wireless station is further configured to:
store the different coding rate used for full rate, and non-full rate prior to performing said receiving the at least one non-full rate vocoder frame.
17. The wireless station of claim 15, wherein the at least one non-full rate comprises rates � and �.
