Appeal No. 2002-1326
Application 09/152,759
The disclosed invention pertains to a method and
apparatus for the simultaneous transmission of voice and non-
voice data over a single dedicated radio frequency channel to a
mobile unit in a wireless communications network. A particular
feature of the invention is that the primary transmission
bandwidth of the mobile unit is automatically broadened so that
voice and non-voice data can be processed as a single transmitted
unit over the dedicated frequency channel.
Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A method in a wireless communications network for the
simultaneous transmission of voice and non-voice data over a
single dedicated radio frequency channel to a mobile unit having
a primary transmission bandwidth, said method comprising the
steps of:
transmitting voice data to a mobile unit via a primary time
interval within a single dedicated radio frequency channel;
identifying an unoccupied adjacent secondary time interval
available to said mobile unit;
transmitting non-voice data to said mobile unit via said
adjacent secondary time interval, in response to identifying said
adjacent secondary time interval;
automatically broadening said primary transmission bandwidth
of said mobile unit to encompass both said primary time interval
and said adjacent secondary time interval in response to said
transmission of non-voice data to said mobile unit via said
adjacent secondary time interval; and
