Method of reverse link transmission in a wireless network using code and frequency multiplexing

摘要

A hybrid method of reverse link transmission provides improved performance, particularly in wireless packet data systems. The method includes aspects of both OFDMA transmission and MC-CDMA (Multi-carrier CDMA) transmission. In specific embodiments, an MC-CDMA pilot signal is used, and the data portion of the timeslot is partitioned between an MC-CDMA field and an OFDMA field.
