Abstract: An apparatus, method and system configured to allocate communication resources in a communication system. An apparatus includes a processor and memory including computer program code configured to cause the apparatus to arrange a number of sub-channels in a sequence according to an index configured to at least one user equipment. A first segment information is received from a first user equipment to partition the number of sub-channels into first and second user-defined segments. A first segment information is received from a second user equipment to partition the number of sub-channels into first and second user-defined segments. The memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to configure sub-channels dependent on the first user-defined segment to the first user equipment when the first segment information therefrom is lower than the first segment information from the second user equipment.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and system configured to allocate communication resources in a communication system. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a processor and memory including computer program code configured to cause the apparatus to arrange a number of sub-channels in a sequence according to an index allocable to at least one user equipment, receive first segment information from a first user equipment to partition the number of sub-channels into first and second user-defined segments, and receive first segment information from a second user equipment to partition the number of sub-channels into first and second user-defined segments. The memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to allocate sub-channels dependent on the first user-defined segment to the first user equipment when the first segment information therefrom is lower than the first segment information from the second user equipment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for varying the data transmission rate of a code division multiple access (CDMA) telecommunications system. The method and apparatus may be implemented into an existing system operating according to a standard designed for a base data transmission while utilizing the Walsh modulator length, the data transmission frame structure, the channel encoding scheme, or the I/Q modulation level of the existing system. Serial data is input to a transmitter/modulator at a data rate which is higher than the base data transmission rate. The serial data is received over a time period having a duration equal to the duration of the transmission frame and demultiplexed into a plurality of sets of input data. Each of the plurality of sets of input data is then processed in one of a plurality of subchannels using the system channel encoding and interleaving scheme to generate a plurality of sets of processed data.
