Definitions
- CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
- CDMA Code division multiple access
- CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
- Each subscriber unit's baseband data signal is multiplied by a code sequence which has a much higher rate than the data rate and is commonly referred to as a "spreading code”.
- This coding results in a much wider transmission spectrum than the spectrum of the baseband data signal, and hence this technique is called “spread spectrum”.
- Subscriber units and their communications can be discriminated by assigning a unique spreading code to each communication link. Since communications from different subscriber units are sent over the same frequency band, CDMA allows more users to access wireless networks simultaneously than with other conventional data communication techniques, such as time division multiple access or frequency division multiple access.
- Variable rate service may vary the data rate from frame to frame depending on the application.
- blind-rate detection is used to determine the data rate for a given frame received at a receiver.
- the receiver must make a determination of the data rate of the received frame before processing the frame.
- Each frame must be separately processed at each possible data rate before a determination is made regarding which data rate was utilized by the transmitter.
- the greater the number of data rates supported by the service the more processing power and more complex the receiver. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a less complicated and highly reliable method for supporting variable data rates in CDMA system.
- an improved method for supporting variable data rates between a transmitter and a receiver in a code division multiple access (CDMA) data communication system.
- the method includes: providing a control channel and at least one application data channel between the transmitter and the receiver; transmitting user data from the transmitter via the application data channel to the receiver; transmitting a data rate indicator from the transmitter via the control channel to the receiver, where the data rate indicator is indicative of the data rate at which the user data is transmitted by the transmitter; and using the data rate indicator to decode the user data at the receiver.
- CDMA code division multiple access
- Figure 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for supporting variable data rates in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating the four different dedicated uplink channels that have been proposed for CDMA2000.
- CDMA technology is typically deployed in cellular-type wireless network communication systems.
- the service area is geographically divided into several adjacent zones of coverage called cells.
- Each cell in the network has at least one base station that establishes communication links with various mobile stations located in or nearby the cell.
- Base stations and mobile stations are transceivers capable of sending and receiving data signals as is well known in the art.
- any communication link with the mobile station is maintained by passing the link to a base station in the adjacent cell. In this way, a mobile station can move from cell to cell without interruption to its communication link. While the following description is provided with reference to cellular-type wireless network system, it is readily understood that CDMA technology may be utilized in other types of data communication systems.
- Figure 1 is a flowchart illustrating an improved method for supporting variable data rate transmissions between a transmitter and a receiver in a CDMA data communication system.
- the communication link is configured to provide a dedicated control channel and at least one application data traffic channel between the transmitter and the receiver as noted in step 12. It is envisioned that the control channel will operate at a fixed data rate; whereas the application data channel can support variable data rates.
- Data is transmitted in blocks of bits called frames, such that a data rate is specified as the number of bits transmitted per frame.
- a data rate indicator is transmitted 14 by the transmitter via the control channel to the receiver simultaneously with the user data being transmitted 16 by the transmitter via the application data channel to the receiver.
- the frame size employed by the control channel is shorter than the frame size employed by the application data channel.
- a four bit binary indicator is preferably used to transmit the data rate to the receiver.
- the value of the indicator correlates to a particular data rate (i.e., the number of bits per frame) and a corresponding frame duration.
- a '0000' value for the indicator is indicative of the highest supported data rate and a '1111' value is indicative of the lowest supported data rate.
- the data rate indicator as well as the corresponding data rate and frame duration are stored in a look-up table residing at the receiver. It is envisioned that the data rates are ordered from highest to lowest in look-up table.
- the data rate indicator may embody the actual data rate used by the transmitter.
- the receiver Upon receipt, the receiver decodes the data rate indicator received from the transmitter. Once the data rate is determined, the receiver can then decode the user data received via the application data channel from the transmitter as shown at step 18. In this way, the user data payload can be varied frame to frame.
- the data rate indicator only needs to be transmitted when the data rate changes, it is envisioned that a data rate indicator may also be transmitted for each user data payload transmitted between the transmitter and the receiver.
- base stations and mobile stations are each capable of performing transmitting and receiving functions. Transmissions from a base station to a mobile station are referred to as downlinks or forward channel communication links; whereas transmissions from a mobile station to a base station are referred to uplinks or reverse channel communication links. Thus, it is to understood that the above-described methodology is applicable to transmissions in either direction.
- Various wideband CDMA standards have been proposed for use in third generation wireless personnel communication systems. Unlike earlier CDMA standards (e.g., IS-95), proposed wideband CDMA standards include one or more dedicated control channels which may be used to transmit a data rate indicator.
- CDMA2000 The wideband CDMA standard proposed by the Telecommunications Industry Association (commonly referred to as "CDMA2000”) is one such wideband CDMA standard.
- CDMA2000 the wideband CDMA standard proposed by the Telecommunications Industry Association
- ETRI the wideband CDMA standard proposed by ETRI.
- Figure 2 illustrates the four different dedicated uplink channels that have been proposed for CDMA2000.
- a fundamental channel 22 and one or more supplemental channels 24 and 26 carry user data.
- a dedicated control channel 28 carries control information, and a pilot channel 30 carries timing signals for uplink coherent detection.
- the four uplink channels are separated by Walsh codes as is well known in the art.
- user data is transmitted in either the fundamental channel 22 or one of the supplemental channels 24 and 26 in a frame length of 20 ms.
- the dedicated control channel 28 is then used to transmit the data rate indicator.
- the dedicated control channel 28 preferably employs a frame length of 5 ms having a fixed data rate.
- CDMA2000 Fundamental and supplemental channels carry user data and a dedicated control channel carries control information.
- the dedicated control channel is used to transmit the data rate indicator
