Methods and apparatus are presented for scheduling data packet transmissions during optimal channel conditions. In one method, data packet retransmissions are scheduled for transmission during favorable channel conditions when the target remote station is moving slowly, but are scheduled for periodic transmissions when the target is moving moderately or fast. In another method, long delays for retransmissions in a channel sensitive timing scheme are eliminated. In other methods, a combination of periodic and aperiodic retransmissions are used to achieve the desired frame error rate.

We claim: 1. A method for transmitting data in a channel of a wireless communication system, comprising: packaging a data payload into a plurality of subpackets; sequentially transmitting a first portion of the plurality of subpackets in accordance with predetermined delays; and sequentially transmitting a second portion of the plurality of subpackets at a peak of a Rayleigh fading envelope, wherein the peak is determined through a threshold value. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein each subpacket of the second portion of the plurality of subpackets have a different size from the subpackets in the first portion. 3. A method for transmitting data in a channel of a wireless communication system, comprising: packaging a data payload into a plurality of subpackets; sequentially transmitting a first portion of the plurality of subpackets in accordance with channel conditions; and sequentially transmitting a second portion of the plurality of subpackets at a peak of a Rayleigh fading envelope, wherein the peak is determined through a threshold value. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein each subpacket of the second portion of the plurality of subpackets have a different size from the subpackets in the first portion. 5. Apparatus for transmitting data in a channel of a wireless communication system, comprising: means for packaging a data payload into a plurality of subpackets; means for deciding whether to sequentially transmit a first portion of the plurality of subpackets in accordance with predetermined delays or sequentially transmit a second portion of the plurality of subpackets in accordance with channel conditions, wherein the means for deciding uses a Rayleigh fading envelope to decide whether channel conditions are favorable, wherein the channel conditions are favorable if the Rayleigh fading envelope is above a predetermined threshold. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein each subpacket of the second portion of the plurality of subpackets have a different size from the subpackets in the first portion. 7. Apparatus for transmitting data in a channel of a wireless communication system, comprising: means for packaging a data payload into a plurality of subpackets; means for deciding whether to sequentially transmit a first portion of the plurality of subpackets in accordance with channel conditions or sequentially transmit a second portion of the plurality of subpackets in accordance with predetermined delays, wherein the means for deciding uses a Rayleigh fading envelope to decide whether channel conditions are favorable, wherein the channel conditions are favorable if the Rayleigh fading envelope is above a predetermined threshold. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein each subpacket of the second portion of the plurality of subpackets have a different size from the subpackets in the first portion.
