Abstract

The disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for increasing the capacity of an air interface. The method comprises the following steps that: after a traffic channel is established on a base station side, a base station transmitting a ⅛ rate frame to the air interface in a continuous transmission mode if not capturing a traffic channel frame prefix from a terminal, so as to ensure that the terminal can receive a forward frame of the base station; the base station only reducing the transmission of the ⅛ rate frame after capturing the prefix from the terminal; and the terminal keeping calling and does not release the call if continuous good frames are received during the demodulation of forward traffic frame from the base station. Through the disclosure, the interference between forward channels is reduced, and the capacity of the air interface is increased.
