Systems and methods of transmission of user data packets
View Patent ↗Systems and methods of wirelessly transmitting user data are provided. A plurality of wireless communication devices are selected for a user data packet. Distinct user data is included for each of the plurality of wireless communication devices in the user data packet. Portions of the user data packet including the user data for each of the plurality of wireless communication devices are identified. The user data packet is then transmitted over a wireless air interface.
1. A method of wirelessly transmitting user data, the method comprising: selecting a plurality of wireless communication devices for a user data packet; including distinct user data for each of the plurality of wireless communication devices in the user data packet; identifying portions of the user data packet including the user data for each of the plurality of wireless communication devices; and transmitting the user data packet over a wireless air interface, notifying each of the plurality of wireless communication devices that the user data packet is being transmitted, wherein the notification is in a frame preceding a frame that carriers the user data packet.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a header portion of the user data packet identifies the portions of the user data packet including the user data for each of the plurality of wireless communication devices.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
notifying each of the plurality of wireless communication devices that the user data packet is being transmitted.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the notification is in a same frame that carries the user data packet.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the packet is transmitted by being spread across a number of non-adjacent frequencies.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user data is voice information.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the voice information is formatted according to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
