Abstract:
A system for optimizing spectral user of a code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) transmission medium by a plurality of users of varying user-application and access rates, comprising:a plurality of code slice allocations collectively representing a quantity of code space contained in said transmission medium;a plurality of time slices in said transmission medium;means for slicing the transmission medium into a plurality of code-time slices; andmeans for scheduling one or more users in at least one of said code-time slices in said transmission medium, wherein said means for scheduling schedules a quantity of code space based on a level of interference contributed by each user in said transmission medium, the scheduling based on a number and type of users for each of said code-time slices.
