METHOD FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF SPEECH INACTIVITY WITH REDUCED POWER IN A TDMA SYSTEM

摘要

A method is disclosed for reducing the power during discontinuous transmission in a digital cellular system. In order to reduce battery usage and decrease interference to other users, a method is disclosed which employs the transmission of a silence descriptor frame and the following reduction of power once the frame is properly received in the receiver. While the power is reduced there is still the ability to receive and decode inactivity frames.
