Method for using a base station to selectively utilize channels to support a plurality of communications

摘要

A method for using a wireless digital base station to receive, process and transmit a plurality of communications having independent data rates establishing a first communication channel having a first data communication rate to support a first communication; determining the data rate required to support the first communication; selecting one or more transmission channels, from a plurality of available transmission channels, required to support said required data rate; and transmitting the first communication using one or more selected transmission channels. The plurality of available transmission channels includes at least one B or D channel.

主权项

1. A code division multiple access (CDMA) subscriber unit comprising:
an antenna; and a circuit, coupled to the antenna, configured to establish a channel with a base station; the circuit being further configured to transmit a communication to the base station over the channel at a first data rate; the circuit being further configured to establish a second channel with the base station; the circuit being further configured to transmit a communication to the base station over the second channel at a second data rate, wherein the first data rate is different than the second data rate; the antenna being configured to receive power control information from the base station, wherein the power control information is time division multiplexed onto a physical channel using control signaling; the circuit being configured to adjust a power level associated with at least one of the first and second channels in accordance with the power control information.
