Abstract
A bandwidth efficient method of wireless communication among simultaneous multiple users includes the steps of monitoring ( ) for voice activity from a plurality of sources ( or ) on a channel and detecting voice activity ( ) among the plurality of sources during a predetermined time period. If voice activity is detected from only a first source, then code the voice activity from the first source and transmit a full-rate packet of data ( ) to a wireless subscriber ( ). If voice activity is detected from at least a first source and a second source amounting to N sources, then code such N sources using a 1/N-rate vocoder to obtain N different 1/N rate data packets ( ) and combining ( ) the N 1/N-rate data packets from at least the first source and the second source before transmitting ( ) a full packet of data to the wireless subscriber.
