A CDMA wireless packet network for voice-data transmissions
Romano Fantacci, L. Zoppi · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 1997
This letter investigates the possibility of integrating voice and data communications in a CDMA wireless packet network to provide access to a base station over a common short-range radio uplink channel for many spatially dispersed voice and data user terminals. Speech activity detection is assumed for voice communications to temporarily devote codes unused by voice user terminals during silence periods to data transmissions. The network proposed exhibits a good performance both in terms of quality of voice communications which is independent of data transmissions and maximum data traffic load supported with bounded delay.
