Patent ID: 6930470

Claim:
A method of using a code division multiple access carrier for wireless communication between a device and a base station, comprising: determining an operational profile of the device, the operational profile including a degree of unit mobility; selecting a first carrier for wireless code division multiple access communication from the device to the base station based on the determined operational profile of the device; establishing a wireless communication link between the device and the base station using the first carrier; detecting a change in the operational profile of the device; selecting a second carrier for wireless code division multiple access communication from the device to the base station based on the change in the operational profile of the device; and establishing a wireless communication link from the device to the base station using the second carrier, wherein one of the first carrier and the second carrier provides an asynchronous code division multiple access communication link and the other of the first carrier and the second carrier provides a synchronous code division multiple access communication link.
