Method and apparatus for wirelessly transacting simultaneous voice and data on adjacent timeslots

摘要

A wireless method, apparatus, and system provide simultaneous transacting of voice and data on adjacent timeslots through a combination of channel access rules and sacrificing small audio portions when required. This includes wirelessly operating on at least two timeslots which are adjacent to one another, operating voice on a first timeslot of the at least two timeslots and monitoring a second timeslot of the at least two timeslots for data, and, responsive to a data transmission request and receiving voice on the first timeslot, discarding a portion of the voice in the first timeslot to provide a larger guard time for programming between the first timeslot and the second timeslot and transmitting data in the second timeslot based on the data transmission request.

主权项

1. A wireless method for operating on at least two timeslots that are adjacent to one another, the method comprising:
wirelessly receiving, at a wireless radio, voice on a first timeslot of the at least two adjacent timeslots and monitoring a second timeslot of the at least two adjacent timeslots for data; and responsive to detecting, by the wireless radio, a data transmission request requesting the wireless radio transmit data:
wirelessly receiving, by the wireless radio, un-discarded wirelessly transmitted voice on the first timeslot;discarding, by the wireless radio, a portion of the wirelessly transmitted voice in the first timeslot to provide a larger guard time for reprogramming between the first timeslot and the second timeslot;reprogramming, by the wireless radio, wireless radio circuitry to switch between receive and transmit modes during the larger guard time; andafter the reprogramming, wirelessly transmitting, by the wireless radio, data in the second timeslot based on the data transmission request.
