Abstract:
1. A wireless hybrid time division multiple access (TDMA)/code division multiple access (CDMA) transmitter for minimizing the amount of data necessary to signal code and timeslot assignments to support a radio frequency (RF) communication utilizing at least one timeslot from a predetermined sequence of timeslots and a predetermined sequence of codes, the transmitter comprising: a selector for selecting at least one timeslot from the predetermined sequence of timeslots, and selecting consecutive codes from said predetermined sequence of codes; and a signaling unit for signaling an identifier of said at least one selected timeslot and first and last codes of said consecutive codes without signaling the codes therebetween; whereby the transmitter uses said at least one selected timeslot and said selected consecutive codes to support the RF communication.
