Abstract
A radio access network has a reverse link frequency band for receiving signals from mobile stations and has first and second forward link frequency bands for transmitting signals to mobile stations. The second forward link frequency band has a greater frequency bandwidth than the first forward link frequency band and occupies a different part of the radio frequency spectrum. For certain types of communication sessions, such as voice and low-speed data, the reverse link frequency band and the first forward link frequency band are used. For other types of communication sessions, such as high-speed data and streaming video, the reverse link frequency band and the second forward link frequency band are used.

21. A method of allocating radio resources for wireless communication, said method comprising:
-
receiving a request to establish a communication session between a mobile station and a radio access network for a user of said mobile station, said communication session having a session type; and
in response to said request, selecting a working frequency division duplex (FDD) configuration from among at least a first FDD configuration and a second FDD configuration based on at least a service level subscription of said user, said first FDD configuration including a reverse link frequency band and a first forward link frequency band, said second FDD configuration including said reverse link frequency band and a second forward link frequency band, said first forward link frequency band including traffic channels with a first frequency bandwidth, said second forward link frequency band including traffic channels with a second frequency bandwidth, wherein said first and second forward link frequency bands are non-overlapping and said second frequency bandwidth is greater than said first frequency bandwidth. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
