Patent ID: 7548554

Claim:
A method for controlling transmission of high-speed data traffic in IPDLs in a wireless communication network, said method comprising: identifying an occurrence of an IPDL, and determining whether the IPDL is in a Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCH), by the network; when the IPDL is in a DPCH, determining whether the IPDL spans two time slots in the DPCH; when the IPDL spans one time slot of the DPCH, halving a spread spectrum factor for a signal in the time slot occupied by the IPDL and increasing a transmitting power for the signal; when the IPDL spans two time slots of the DPCH, halving the spread spectrum factor of the previous time slot spanned by the IPDL, shifting information of the previous time slot into a first half time slot of the previous time slot, halving the spread spectrum factor of the next time slot spanned by the IPDL, and shifting information of the next time slot into a second half of the next time slot, and increasing the transmitting power for the signal in the shifted time slot portions of the previous time slot and the next time slot; determining whether the IPDL spans two time slots of an HS-DSCH; when the IPDL spans one time slot of the HS-DSCH, shifting the time slot to a latter time slot in the HS-DSCH; when the IPDL spans two time slots of the HS-DSCH, shifting a portion of the previous time slot to a latter time slot and shifting a portion of the next time slot to a latter time slot, remaining non-shifted portions of the time slots spanning at least a duration of the identified IPDL.
