REVERSE CHANNEL INFORMATION SIGNALING METHOD WITH MINIMUM VOICE / DATA DELAY

摘要

Reverse channel information signaling method with minimal voice / data delay in a time division multiple access system, a subscriber listens to an assigned channel (300) and an alternate channel (302) until a channel signaling is located reverse be determined for the assigned channel. The subscriber also obtains a fixed periodic rate (304) for reverse channel signaling. based on the fixed periodic rate, the subscriber selectively listens to the alternate channel to receive reverse channel signaling while transmitting information on the assigned channel. the base repeater, however, selects the fixed periodic rate for reverse channel signaling and transmits the reverse channel signaling at the fixed periodic rate to the transmitting subscriber. If a base repeater receives a burst belonging to a superstructure and determines that any burst in the superstructure will collide with reverse channel signaling, the base repeater temporarily stores any bursts received on the superstructure and transmits temporarily stored bursts at a subsequent time.
