Methods and apparatuses are disclosed regarding a wireless field unit, which may receive a plurality of forward link assignment messages for a plurality of time slots for a plurality of forward link transmissions, each message including an indication of a modulation and a code rate associated with a respective forward link transmission. The field unit may receive at least one of the forward link transmissions in at least one time slot at the respective indicated modulation and code rate. The field unit may receive a plurality of reverse link assignment messages for a plurality of time slots for a plurality of reverse link transmissions, each message including an indication of a modulation and a code rate associated with a respective reverse link transmission. The field unit may transmit at least one of the reverse link transmissions in at least one time slot at the respective indicated modulation and code rate.

Qualifying available reverse link coding rates from access channel power setting

The present invention provides for making code rate adjustments and modulation type adjustments in a pseudonoise (PN) encoded CDMA system. Coding rate adjustments may be made by changing the number of information bits per symbol, or Forward Error Code (FEC) coding rate. A forward error correction (FEC) block size is maintained at a constant amount. Therefore, as the number of information bits per symbol are increased, an integer multiple of bits per epoch is always maintained. The scheme permits for a greater flexibility and selection of effective data rates providing information bit rates ranging from, for example, approximately 50 kilobits per second to over 5 mega bits per second (Mbps) in one preferred embodiment.

Maximizing data rate by adjusting codes and code rates

Generating first pilot symbols and second pilot symbols is disclosed. A frame, to send in an uplink transmission, may have a first portion and a second portion. The first portion may include the first pilot symbols and data symbols. The second portion may include the second pilot symbols without data symbols.
