Abstract
Data is accessed from a network via a wireless communication link. A determination is made as to whether payload data has been received from a subscriber's terminal. If so, then a request is sent for a first set of traffic channels, and the payload data is transmitted over the first set of traffic channels.
Claims9
A method implemented in a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless device for communicating data with a network via a wireless communication link, the method comprising:
- determining, by the wireless device, whether at least a portion of payload data is available for transmission;
- in response to determining payload data is available, sending a request message over an access channel,
- in response to the request message, receiving a traffic channel assignment message;
- using a first set of traffic channels for transmission of the payload data in response to the traffic channel assignment message;
- transmitting, by the wireless device, a first portion of the payload data over a first traffic channel of the first set of traffic channels;
- and
- transmitting, by the wireless device, a second portion of the payload data over a second traffic channel of the first set of traffic channels,
- wherein the payload data is transmitted via CDMA modulated radio signals.
5 more elements
A Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile device comprising:
- a processor configured to determine whether at least a portion of payload data is available for transmission and to send a request message via an access channel in response to determining payload data is available, and in response to the request message, the processor further configured to receive a traffic channel assignment message and to use a first set of traffic channels for transmission of the payload;
- and
- a transceiver for transmitting a first portion of the payload data over a first traffic channel of the first set of traffic channels,
- wherein said the transceiver transmits a second portion of the payload data over a second traffic channel of the first set of traffic channels and wherein the payload data is transmitted via Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulated radio signals.
