Abstract
A network apparatus for use in a wireless time division duplex (TDD) code division multiple access communication system includes a processor configured to allocate a time slot in a frame for a plurality of cells for transmission of data over a forward access channel (FACH). Each of the plurality of cells is allocated a different time slot in the frame for transmission of the data over the FACH.
Claims11
A network apparatus for use in a wireless time division duplex (TDD) code division multiple access communication system, the network apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to allocate a time slot in a frame for a plurality of cells for transmission of data over a forward access channel (FACH);
- wherein each of the plurality of cells is allocated a different time slot in the frame for transmission of the data over the FACH.
A Node-B comprising:
- a processor configured to allocate a time slot in a frame of a cell for transmission of data over a forward access channel (FACH);
- wherein each of other cells of a plurality of cells are allocated different time slots in the frame for transmission of the data over the FACH;
- wherein the processor is further configured to transmit in the allocated time slot the data of the FACH in a time division duplex format.
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
- a processor configured to receive data in a time division duplex format over a forward access channel (FACH) in allocated time slots;
- wherein the data of the FACH is allocated for transmission in a different time slot of a frame for each of a plurality of cells.
