摘要:
System and methods for signalling transitions between talk-spurt state (24, 30, 50, 74, 80, 100) and silence state (52, 102) for wireless terminals 10-1 having semi-persistently allocated uplink resources are employed. A layer 1/2 indication 40, 56, 90, 106 of the state transitions may be transmitted using a resource that is specifically allocated for that purpose. Alternatively, ACK/NACK signalling 126 may be employed. Layer 1 indications may be employed for both state transition types. Alternatively, in-band MAC layer signalling 84, 86, 104 may be used to signal state transition from talk-spurt state to silence, or the network may deduce this state transition on its own. A different uplink wireless transition resource is allocated for the talk-spurt state vs. the silence state.
