Abstract:
1. A machine readable data system for sharing bandwidth of a channel among a plurality of users in a network, comprising: a machine flexibly partitioning a map interval and storing data formatted according to the flexibly partitioned map interval; wherein the flexibly partitioned map interval includes a plurality of sub intervals comprising a data+signaling interval and a voice interval, the flexibly partitioned map interval defining channel transmissions for a period of time, and a plurality of unsolicited grants for the voice interval are packed away from the data+signaling interval in order to form a single hole adjoining the data+signaling interval, wherein when a voice call termination leaves a gap among the plurality of unsolicited grants, the gap is closed by a movement of at least one of the plurality of unsolicited grants away from the data+signaling interval.
