Method and apparatus for forward link rate scheduling
First Claim
1. A method for a communication system, comprising:
- assigning at a controller a primary code channel to transmit unscheduled transmissions of data and control messages without a delay over a forward channel; and
assigning a secondary code channel for transmission of data at high rates over the forward channel, wherein said secondary code channel is reassigned during the scheduling period based on an available capacity of said forward link.

Abstract
In a communication system capable of variable rate transmission, scheduling of high speed data transmission improves utilization of the forward link and decreases the transmission delay in data communication. Each remote station is assigned one primary code channel for the duration of the communication with a cell. Secondary code channels of various types and transmission capabilities can be assigned by a channel scheduler for scheduled transmission of data traffic at high rates. Secondary code channels are assigned in accordance with a set of system goals, a list of parameters, and collected information on the status of the communication network. Secondary code channels can be grouped into sets of secondary code channels. Data is partitioned in data frames and transmitted over the primary and secondary code channels which have been assigned to the scheduled user.
