Dynamic bandwidth allocation to transmit a wireless protocol across a code division multiple access (CDMA) radio link
First Claim
1. A code division multiple access (CDMA) user device comprising:
- a CDMA transceiver; and
a controller operable with the CDMA transceiver to establish a packet data communication session over a plurality of layers including a physical layer,the controller being operable with the CDMA transceiver to facilitate use of a data traffic channel and a control channel during the packet data communication session, wherein the data traffic channel and control channel are associated with CDMA codes and the control channel carries information indicative of a data rate associated with the data traffic channel, the data traffic channel including a plurality of code channels, wherein the control channel is not adapted to carry voice or data traffic,wherein a state of at least one of the layers other than the physical layer is maintained during the packet data communication session after the data traffic channel has been released, andwherein the controller controls transmission of packet data on a number of code channels, wherein the number of code channels is based on an amount of packet data in a packet data queue.

Abstract
A base station includes a wireless transceiver for establishing a communication session over a first digital communication path, and a bandwidth management module is connected to the wireless transceiver for allocating at least one code channel within the at least one radio frequency channel for exchanging digital signals over the first digital communication path during the communication session. The at least one code channel may include at least one traffic portion that is established for a predetermined time and at least one control portion that is continuously available. The bandwidth management module may reallocate the at least one traffic portion from the first digital communication path to a second digital communication path if an extension of time is not requested from the base station over the first digital communication path for the at least one traffic portion, or if the base station no longer has digital signals to transmit over the first digital communication path via the at least one traffic portion. However, the at least one reallocated traffic portion appears as though it is still continuously available to the first digital communication path.

11. A code division multiple access (CDMA) user device comprising:
-
a transmitter; and a controller operable with the transmitter to establish a communication session over a plurality of layers including a physical layer with a base station, wherein the transmitter transmits a control channel that carries control information, wherein the control information only includes information other than data or voice during the communication session, wherein the controller manages, by use of the control channel, a number of CDMA codes during the communication session, and wherein a state of at least one of the plurality of layers other than the physical layer is maintained during the communication session when no data, voice, or said control information is being transmitted by the transmitter. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
