Solution Overview

Problem

CDMA systems face challenges in efficiently multiplexing high-speed packet data transmission with voice/data transmission, leading to degradation in signal quality due to fluctuating transmit power, which affects the performance of voice/data services.

Innovation Solution

The method involves partitioning transmission intervals into voice/data and packet data partitions, with dynamic allocation based on load, and controlling transmit power to maintain a stable range, allowing efficient resource utilization and minimizing interference.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If high-speed packet data transmission is multiplexed with voice/data transmission in a CDMA system, then system productivity and resource utilization are improved, but transmit power fluctuation increases causing degradation in voice/data service quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem resource utilizationVSAvoidvoice/data service quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The transmission interval is divided into multiple slots, with certain slots allocated for voice/data transmission and other slots for packet data transmission. This time-division multiplexing approach segments the transmission resources to accommodate both service types while controlling interference between them

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the allocation of transmission slots between voice/data and packet data services based on current traffic conditions and channel quality. This dynamic resource allocation optimizes system productivity while maintaining service quality through adaptive control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Speed

If transmit power is increased to support high-speed packet data transmission, then data transmission rate is improved, but interference to other transmissions increases degrading overall system performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidinterference to other transmissions
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Packet data transmission is organized into periodic transmission bursts separated by idle periods or low-power periods. This periodic transmission pattern allows the system to achieve high data rates during active transmission while reducing average transmit power and interference during idle periods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes transmit power parameters based on transmission type and channel conditions. High power is used only when necessary for packet data bursts, while voice/data transmissions use lower, more stable power levels, thus achieving high data rates without excessive interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Techniques for transmitting voice/data and packet data services such that packet data transmissions have less impact on voice/data transmissions. In one aspect, voice/data and packet data can be multiplexed within a transmission interval such that the available resources are efficiently utilized. In another aspect, the amount of variation in the total transmit power from a base station is controlled to reduce degradation to transmissions from this and other base stations. In a specific method for concurrently transmitting a number of types of data, a first data type (e.g., voice, overhead, and some data) and a second data type are respectively processed in accordance with first and second signal processing schemes to generate first and second payloads, respectively. First and second partitions are then defined in a transmission interval. The first and second payloads are time multiplexed into the first and second partitions, respectively, and the multiplexed payloads are transmitted.
