Those are good points but I believe that you are mistaken about the transmission. From what I understand in TDMA applications you pulse the power to the PA. This turns the PA on and off and thus saves power. What this means to me is that until you come to your timeslot your PA is off and that is your most power hungry device in your phone by far. I guess what I mean is that I was misunderstood. I was not referring to voice activity (what determines the rate in CDMA) but instead to the fact that you do not have your time slot there all of the time and must pulse your transmission to coincide with your timeslot.
