Patent CA-2585239-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JALALI AHMAD
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2005-08-25
Abstract: Techniques for efficiently transmitting various types of signaling on the forward and reverse links in an OFDM-based system are described. Instead of specifically allocating subbands to individual signaling channels, signaling data for a signaling channel on a given link is sent as "underlay" to other transmissions that may be sent on the same link. Each wireless terminal is assigned a different PN code. The signaling data for each terminal is spectrally spread over all or a portion of the system bandwidth using the assigned PN code. For the reverse link, a wireless terminal may transmit signaling on all N usable subbands and may transmit traffic data on L subbands assigned for data transmission, which may be a subset of the N usable subbands. For the forward link, a base station may transmit signaling and traffic data for all terminals on the N usable subbands.
