A method and apparatus for arranging various types of data, and at various rates, into a uniquely structured format for transmission. Data for transmission formatting may be vocoder data or different types of non-vocoder data. The data organized into frames of a predetermined time duration for transmission. The data frames are organized, depending on the data, to be at one of several data rates. Vocoder data is provided at one of several data rates and is organized in the frame according to a predetermined format. Frames may be formatted with a sharing of vocoder data with non-vocoder data to be at a highest frame data rate. Different types of non-vocoder data may be organized so as to also be at the highest frame data rate. Additional control data may be provided within the data frames to support various aspects of the transmission and recovery upon reception.
In a digital communication system wherein variable rate packets of data are transmitted in data frames and wherein a packet of data of said variable rate packets of data is less than a data capacity of a data frame of said data frames for transmission, a subsystem for combining said packet of data with said additional data in a data frame comprising:
In a spread spectrum communication system wherein variable length packets of data are transmitted in data frames and wherein a packet of data of said variable length packets of data is less than a data capacity of a data frame of said data frames for transmission, a subsystem for combining said packet of data with said additional data in said data frame comprising:
In a digital communication system, an apparatus for transmitting speech data and additional data, comprising:
In a digital communication system for transmitting data of a first type in a data frame having a data capacity and wherein said data of said first type is less than said data capacity of said data frame, a method for using excess capacity of said data frame, comprising the steps of:
In a communication system for transmitting data of a first type in a data frame having a data capacity and wherein said data of first type is less than said data capacity of said data frame, a method for using excess capacity of said data frame, comprising the steps of:
