Abstract
A method for using a wireless digital base station to receive, process and transmit a plurality of communications having independent data rates establishing a first communication channel having a first data communication rate to support a first communication; determining the data rate required to support the first communication; selecting one or more transmission channels, from a plurality of available transmission channels, required to support said required data rate; and transmitting the first communication using one or more selected transmission channels. The plurality of available transmission channels includes at least one B or D channel.
Claims7
A code division multiple access (CDMA) subscriber unit comprising:
- an antenna;
- a circuit, coupled to the antenna, configured to establish a channel with a base station;
- the circuit being further configured to transmit a communication to the base station over the channel at a first data rate;
- the circuit being further configured to establish a second channel with the base station;
- the circuit being further configured to transmit a communication to the base station over the second channel at a second data rate, wherein the first data rate is different than the second data rate;
- the antenna being configured to receive power control information from the base station, wherein the power control information is time division multiplexed onto a physical channel using control signaling.
A method for use in a code division multiple access (CDMA) subscriber unit, the method comprising:
- establishing a channel with a base station;
- transmitting a communication to the base station over the channel at a first data rate;
- establishing a second channel with the base station;
- transmitting a communication to the base station over the second channel at a second data rate, wherein the first data rate is different than the second data rate;
- receiving power control information from the base station, wherein the power control information is time division multiplexed onto a physical channel using control signaling.
