Abstract:
1. A method for increasing the transmission rate in a multi-slot Code Division Multiple Access, (CDMA), wireless communication system, comprising the steps of: A. combining a plurality of neighboring time slots to form one combined time slot, wherein the combined time slot has a length that is integer times a length of an original time slot, wherein each of the plurality of neighboring time slots comprises service data fields; B. transmitting traffic data with at least one service data field in the combined time slot, and using one guard period in the combined time slot for guard between combined time slots, wherein total size of the at least one service data field in the combined time slot is larger than total size of the service data fields in the plurality of neighboring time slots, wherein more than two service data fields with approximate lengths are used for transmitting traffic data; and more than one midamble field for improving the transmission performance of the system are set among the service data fields, and the length of the midamble increases along with the increasing number of neighboring time slots that are combined to form the combined time slot.
