METHOD, TERMINAL UNIT AND BASE STATION UNIT FOR PROVIDING DATA COMMUNICATION IN A CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS (CDMA) TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of providing data communication in a code division multiple access (CDMA) telecommunications system, wherein a physical channel comprising a plurality of transport channels facilitates said data communication. Each of said transport channels has a transport format (TF) indicating a data rate of said transport channel. A data signal is transmitted between an originating unit and a receiving unit through at least one of said plurality of transport channels, and at least one transmission gap is provided using at least one compressed mode (CPM). The compressed mode comprises the step of providing at least one transmission gap using spare transmission capacity between the available data rate of said at least one transport channel and the required data rate by said data signal.
