Supplemental channel selection in wireless communication systems

Abstract

A channel structure for use in communication systems. Two sets of physical channels, one for the forward link and another for the reverse link, are utilized to facilitate communication of a variety of logical channels. The physical channels comprise data and control channels. The data channels comprise fundamental channels which are used to transmit voice traffic, data traffic, high speed data, and other overhead information, and supplemental channels which are used to transmit high speed data. In response to a power measurement report, a base station can send a control channel frame on a control channel to identify a modified set of base station channels from which a remote station is to receive supplemental channels. The code channels corresponding to the supplemental channels are transmitted to remote station via signaling messages.
