A method to adjust the burst transmission duration time, in a high speed digital
wireless communication system, to provide sufficient time for the transmission
of data when all the data is not available at the time of transmission. According
to the method of the invention, after the burst transmission is begun, the burst
is maintained active as additional data is selected within a known time period
following the previous detected data packet and the detected data is appended to
the active burst transmission. The invention further terminates the burst duration
when no additional data is detected within the redefined time period following
the previous detected data packet.
