<p>A novel and improved method and apparatus for generating a constant data rate channel supporting signaling data transmission in an adjustable rate wireless communication system is described. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the rate at which the channel operates may be adjusted based on the particular use and environmental conditions such that the appropriate data rate up to a maximum capability can be achieved. User data is then placed into frames (70-76) based on the selected rate. When available, signaling data is added into each frame in a predetermined amount. The resulting frame is encoded (36), repeated (38) and punctured (40) based on the selected rate and whether signaling data has been introduced, and transmitted via RF signals to the receive system.</p> |
