<p>Techniques for Walsh space assignment are disclosed. In one aspect, a list of Walsh functions is maintained in the base station (104) and mobile stations (106). A Walsh space indicator is transmitted to indicate which of the Walsh functions on the list are to be used in communication. The Walsh space indicator is updated according to the dynamically varying transmit power available or the use of Walsh functions within the base station. Methods by which a mobile station can request Walsh space information are provided. In another aspect, a Walsh space indicator channel is continually broadcast for mobile stations to detect the Walsh space indicator therefrom. In yet another aspect, the Walsh space indicator is used to initialize convolutional encoders (260) and decoders (304), to provide a mechanism for mitigating against errors introduced while receiving Walsh space indicators.; Various other aspects are also presented.</p> |
