Abstract: In a transmission device and method for a CDMA communication system, when a shorter frame message is generated during transmission of a longer frame message, the transmission of the longer frame message is interrupted, whereupon the shorter frame message is immediately transmitted in place of a portion of the longer frame message. In one embodiment, after the longer frame message is interrupted and the shorter frame message is transmitted, only the tail portion of the longer frame message is transmitted thereafter. That is, the replaced portion of the longer frame message is not transmitted following the shorter frame message transmission. In an alternative embodiment, following the shorter frame message transmission, the remainder of the longer frame message, from the point of interruption, is transmitted in its entirety. In the latter case, the longer frame message is delayed by the length of the shorter frame message.

Abstract: A channel communication device and method for a mobile communication system using transmission antenna diversity. A base station alternatively transmits signals on a common channel via at least two antennas at first and second intervals. A mobile station estimates a time relationship between the alternatively switched common channel and a user channel and measures the power of the received signals corresponding to the first and second intervals. The mobile station selects an antenna having stronger power by comparing the power of the signal corresponding to the first interval with the power of the signal corresponding to the second interval, and informs the base station of the selected antenna. The base station transmits a dedicated channel via the selected antenna.
