A method and apparatus for transmitting voice and data in a code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless telecommunications system is described. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a base station transmits voice information at a voice transmit power and data at a data transmit power that is equal to a maximum transmit power minus the voice transmit power. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each base station reports the voice transmit power to a base station controller in 20 ms intervals. The base station controller responds by calculating an available data transmit capacity, and by forwarding data to each base station equal to the available data transmit capacity. Each base station then transmits all voice data at the current voice transmit power, and data at the current data transmission power. If the amount of data received exceeds the capacity provided by the current data transmission power, some data is not transmitted. The base station then notifies the base station controller if data was not transmitted, and the base station controller attempts to retransmit the data at a later time.

1. A method for performing wireless communications using a device having a transmit power threshold, the method comprising:a) transmitting voice information at a voice transmit power; b) transmitting data at a data transmit power that is less than or equal to the transmit power threshold minus said voice transmit power, without interfering with said transmitting voice information, wherein said step of transmitting data further comprising the steps of: b1) receiving a set of data frames; b2) calculating an amount of power necessary to transmit all of said set of data frames; b3) transmitting all of said data frames it said amount of power is less than the transmit power threshold minus the voice transmit power; and b4) transmitting a portion of said data frames if said amount of power is greater than the transmit power threshold minus the voice transmit power.
