than a number of the mobile devices that are to have an overlaid CDMA
operation performed thereon;
processing the K repeated bursts received from the mobile devices; and separating signals of the mobile devices according to the unique
orthogonal CDMA code and use in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) (IQ)
accumulation according to combine the K repeated bursts.
28. The at least one machine readable storage medium of claim 27, further
comprising instructions which when executed by the one or more processors
and memory performs the following:
obtaining channel quality conditions for the mobile devices in a scheduling interval; and
identify the mobile devices having more efficient channel quality conditions as compared to the mobile devices having less efficient channel quality conditions and that are capable of the overlaid CDMA, wherein the mobile devices forced to transmit K repeated bursts have the more efficient channel quality conditions as compared to those having less efficient channel quality conditions.
29. The at least one machine readable storage medium of claim 27 or 28, further
comprising instructions which when executed by the one or more processors
and memory performs the following: force the mobile devices having the more
efficient channel quality conditions as compared to the mobile devices having
less efficient channel quality conditions and extended coverage devices to
transmit K repeated bursts, wherein K is one of 2, 4, 8, or 16 or a positive
integer greater than 1 for the K repeated bursts.
