Abstract: In a communication system wherein a CDMA segment at each access point consists of multiple sub-segments a three frame transmission time interval (TTI) with eight retransmissions is utilized for data transmission. The access point not only specifies the interlaces to be utilized for data transmission it also assigns packet start interlaces for particular access terminals. An auxiliary pilot channel R-AuxPICH is transmitted by an access terminal along with CDMA data on reverse link. The ratio of R-AuxPICH to R-PICH is varied based on ACK/NACK feedback. A reverse link activity bit (RAB) which can be used as an emergency load-control mechanism for non-QoS flows is also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for forcing at least some members of a communication group to join a new group call when they are participating in an another group call to a different communication group. A wireless communication device that seeks to initiate the new group call transmits a request-to-transmit (RTT) on a reverse channel to initiate the new group call. This way, at least some of group members participating in the other group call can be allowed to join the new group call. The recipients of the RTT can then switch from a primary channel on which the other group call is taking place to an alternative channel to join the new group call. In one implemenation, the disclosed embodiments can be applied to a two-way wireless communication system that employs a TDMA channel access scheme.
