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.
Claims14
A code division multiple access (CDMA) subscriber unit comprising:
- an antenna;
- and
- a circuit coupled to the antenna, the circuit being configured to establish channels of predetermined data transmission rates, the circuit being configured to transmit a communication at an initial data rate using at least one of the communication channels;
- the circuit being further configured to monitor the communication and determine an adjusted data rate desired for continued support of the communication;
- the circuit being further configured to allocate a sufficient number of channels for the communication based on the adjusted data rate, wherein a plurality of power commands are time multiplexed onto a channel using control signaling.
A method for use by a code division multiple access (CDMA) user terminal, the method comprising:
- establishing channels of predetermined data transmission rates;
- and
- transmitting a communication at an initial data rate using at least one of the communication channels;
- monitoring the communication and determining an adjusted data rate desired for continued support of the communication;
- and
- allocating a sufficient number of channels for the communication based on the adjusted data rate, wherein a plurality of power commands are time multiplexed onto a channel using control signaling.
A wireless code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system, the system comprising:
- a base station;
- and
- a CDMA subscriber unit including:
- an antenna;
- a circuit coupled to the antenna, the circuit being configured to establish channels of predetermined data transmission rates, the circuit being configured to transmit a communication at an initial data rate using at least one of the communication channels;
- the circuit being further configured to monitor the communication and determine an adjusted data rate desired for continued support of the communication;
- the circuit being further configured to allocate a sufficient number of channels for the communication based on the adjusted data rate, wherein a plurality of power commands are time multiplexed onto a channel using control signaling.
