  • Data compression techniques for example, can be used to digitally sample speech at the radiotelephone terminal, compress the digital representation of the speech, and transmit the compressed digital representation of the speech within the allotted time slot.
  • different time slots can be used to support communications with different radiotelephone terminals.
  • the ACeS system provides for communications at different data rates by assigning a time slot from each consecutive time frame to a communications channel for a full data rate channel (S-TCH/F); by assigning a time slot from every other time frame to a communications channel for a half data rate channel (S-TCH/H); by assigning a time slot from every fourth time frame to a communications channel for a quarter data rate channel (S- TCH/Q); or by assigning a time slot from every eighth time frame to a communications channel for an eighth data rate channel (S-TCH/E).
