摘要

An apparatus for indicating continuation of a common channel message being transmitted over a designated common channel in a CDMA communication system. A mobile station has a common channel message transmitting device which includes a message generator for generating a stream of frames each comprised of an indicator field and a data field by dividing a data stream to be transmitted, inserting an indicator indicating an end frame in the indicator field of a last one of the frames, and inserting an indicator indicating a continuous frame in each indicator field of the frames other than the last frame; and a reverse common channel transmitter for transmitting the generated message. A base station has a common channel message receiving device which includes a reverse common channel receiver for receiving the reverse common channel message transmitted from the mobile station; and a message processor for examining the indicator field inserted in the received reverse common channel frame, and releasing the reverse common channel when the indicator field indicates an end frame of the reverse common channel.
