Abstract

A method for enhancing the voice signal received by a remote user in a time division multiple access (TDMA), cellular telephone system. In order to enhance the signal received by a remote user in a TDMA cellular telephone system, the base station transmits to the remote user in need of signal improvement additional signal enhancing data on one or more previously idle transmission resources. The method includes identifying the first remote user in need of signal enhancing data, identifying and selecting an idle transmission resource, identifying for the first remote user the selected transmission resource, generating additional signal enhancing data, and inserting the additional signal enhancing data into the selected transmission resource for transmission to the first remote user. If the selected transmission resource is required to provide primary service to a second remote user, the selected resource will be reassigned to the second requesting user, and the transmission of additional signal enhancing data to the first remote user will be terminated.
