The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for conducting communications over a shared communication medium involving a plurality of nodes, involving (a) sending a request from a first node in the plurality of nodes, the shared communication medium organized to include a request signal space and a scheduled transmission signal space, the request signal space including a plurality of request segments each having a different location within the request signal space, the scheduled transmission signal space including a plurality of scheduled transmission segments each having a different location within the scheduled transmission signal space, the request sent in a request segment that is one of the plurality of request segments, (b) obtaining an assignment associating the request with a scheduled transmission segment selected from the plurality of scheduled transmission segments, the assignment taking into account location of the request within the request signal space, (c) from the first node, sending a data transmission in the scheduled transmission segment associated with the request in accordance with the assignment, and (d) wherein the plurality of scheduled transmission segments include multiple categories of scheduled transmission segments associated with different service types.
Here, a 32-chip Walsh CDMA code is used. In this code space, there exist =different possible code words, each having a length of 32 chips. Indices 0 through 31 are used to identify the 32 different possible code words. FIG. 10 shows the chip-level detail of the 32 code words. Other types and lengths of code may be used in accordance with the invention.
(a) sending a request to a scheduler from a first node in the plurality of nodes, the shared communication medium organized to include a request signal space having at least one frame and a scheduled transmission signal space, the request signal space including a plurality of request segments each having a different location defined within the at least one frame within the request signal space, the scheduled transmission signal space including a plurality of scheduled transmission segments each having a different location within the scheduled transmission signal space, the request sent in a request segment that is one of the plurality of request segments;
(b) at the first node, obtaining an assignment from the scheduler associating the request with a scheduled transmission segment selected from the plurality of scheduled transmission segments, the assignment taking into account location of the request within the request signal space;
(c) from the first node, sending a data transmission in the scheduled transmission segment associated with the request in accordance with the assignment; and
(d) wherein the plurality of scheduled transmission segments include multiple categories of scheduled transmission segments associated with different service types, and wherein the request is for transmission in a particular category of scheduled transmission segments associated with a particular service type.
