Abstract:
An interference-efficient method for a radio access network (RAN) to provide communication services to a remote unit in a code division multiple access (CDMA) system, the method comprising:establishing a communication channel with the remote unit, wherein the communication channel includes a CDMA forward link and a CDMA reverse link; while the remote unit is in a speaking mode, targeting a first frame error rate (FER) level for the reverse link through power control signaling; while the remote unit is in a non-speaking mode, targeting a second FER level for the reverse link through power control signaling, wherein the second FER level is greater than the first FER level; receiving an indication that the remote unit is entering a listening mode; in response to the indication that the remote unit is entering the listening mode, transmitting an indication to the remote unit to target a third FER level for the forward link through power control signaling.
