摘要

A method for use in a code division multiple access (CDMA) subscriber unit, the method comprising receiving first information at a first data rate from a base station; determining, in response to a first signal received from the base station, whether to receive second information at a second data rate different than the first data rate from the base station; transmitting a second signal to the base station, wherein the second signal is used to request second information at a second data rate from the base station; receiving a third signal from the base station, wherein the third signal carries an acknowledgement indicative of the configuration of the base station to transmit the second information at the second data rate; and receiving the second information at the second data rate from the base station.
