Abstract: The present invention addresses methods, apparatuses and computer program products for improved compressed mode operation for enhanced dedicated channel DCH in circuit switched CS voice services/transmissions. A compressed mode of a user equipment is configured during performing a circuit switched voice service over a dedicated channel according to Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access operation upon demand for network specific measurement, whereby measurement gaps are created in the data transmission. In uplink, transmission of a voice frame to be compressed is performed using a 10 ms transmission, whereas in downlink, transmission of a voice frame to be compressed is stopped after a fixed number of slots have been transmitted, wherein the fixed number of slots is set such as to ensure a measurement gap with at least 14 slots.
