METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HYBRID TDM AND IP PACKET TRANSMISSION OVER AN AIR INTERFACE

摘要

A method and system for generating a transmission frame (200) suitable for the concurrent transmission of real-time digitized audio data (212, 214, 216) and non-real time digital data (242, 244, 246) is disclosed. The method for generating the hybrid transmission frame (200) comprises the steps of prioritizing data requests (310) representative of audio and data transmission, wherein audio data requests are assigned a high priority allocating each of the audio data requests to one of a fixed duration channel (212, 214, 216) within a first portion (210) of the frame (200) and allocating the data transmission requests to a remaining portion (240) of said frame.
