<p>Data channels (Data Channel 1, 2, 3, 4) are sorted (704) into an order in terms of an exponent E, where E is defined in the equation: segment interval = C*2E, in which segment interval is a number of the slots (202) between instances of a given data channel, and the data channels are assigned (706) to ones of the slots in terms of the order. Subsequent to the assigning data channels, the control channel is assigned (708) to ones of the slots on the data line. Optionally assigning the data channels assigns all data channels to ones of the slots on the data line to reduce the number of unassigned slots.</p> |
