In a mobile communications system comprising mobile terminals and a base station, the base station sends super-frames comprising shared data communication channels and a control channel for resource allocation messages. Each terminal is allocated an identifier so that it can determine its resource allocation from the control channel messages. The base station is adapted to also send shorter identifiers for each terminal, related to the original identifiers, which the terminals also use to determine their resource allocation.. The shorter identifiers allow the allocation of more resources per super-frame to user terminals as more identifiers can be fitted in the control channel information in the super-fram. The mobile terminals may be organised in groups and receive respective super-frames for their group. |
