Abstract
A radio system and a channel allocation method in a radio system are provided. The radio system and method have at least one base station communicating with terminals within a coverage area thereof. Air interface resources are allocated to different terminals with a combined time and code multiple access method such that the signal of one or more terminals is transmitted in each time slot. Terminal signals are grouped into different time slots based on connection characteristics of each terminal.
