Abstract
A method for using a code division multiple access (CDMA) subscriber unit to transmit a communication to a base station at a first data rate using at least one communication channel, determine an adjusted data rate desired for support of the communication, and transmit the communication to the base station over a second channel at a second data rate, wherein the first data rate is different than the second data rate.
Claims11
A code division multiple access (CDMA) subscriber unit comprising:
- an antenna;
- a circuit coupled to the antenna configured to establish a connection with a base station;
- the circuit being further configured to transmit a communication to the base station over a first channel at a first data rate and a second channel at a second data rate, wherein the first data rate is different than the second data rate;
- the circuit being configured to receive power control information from the base station that is time division multiplexed onto a physical channel using control signaling;
- and
- the circuit being further configured to adjust a power level associated with at least one of the channels in accordance with the power control information.
A method for use in a code division multiple access (CDMA) subscriber unit, the method comprising:
- establishing a connection with a base station;
- transmitting a communication to a base station over the first channel at a first data rate and a 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 that is time division multiplexed onto a physical channel using control signaling;
- and
- adjusting a power level associated with at least one of the channels in accordance with the power control information.
A code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system comprising:
- a base station;
- and
- a subscriber unit including:
- an antenna;
- and
- a circuit, coupled to the antenna, configured to establish a connection with the base station, transmit a communication to the base station over a first channel at a first data rate and a second channel at a second data rate, the first data rate being different than the second data rate, receive power control information from the base station that is time division multiplexed onto a physical channel using control signaling, and adjust a power level associated with at least one of the channels in accordance with the power control information.
