摘要

The present invention provides a method for sending data in a spread spectrum code division multiple access communication system having a common packet channel using a predetermined set of codes and a base station thereof. The common packet channel has a plurality of access opportunities, each defined by a time slot (30-34) and signature (36-40). The method of the present invention comprises the steps of receiving a signature in the common packet channel, selecting a code out of a plurality of codes associated with the common packet channel, transmitting a combined collision signal and channel identifier, and communicating data using the selected code. According to the present invention, the channel identifier indicates the selected code and the channel identifier is associated with the received signature.
