METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FRAGMENTING A CONTROL MESSAGE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Techniques for sending control information are described. In an aspect, information to send in a control message may be fragmented into multiple parts, with each part including information of a particular type. The multiple parts may be segregated into multiple categories such as dynamic, semi-static, and static. A full message containing all parts may be generated and sent at a first rate. A first partial message containing parts in the dynamic category may be generated and sent at a highest rate. A second partial message containing parts in the semi-static category may be generated and sent at a second rate that is slower than the highest rate. A third partial message containing parts in the static category may be generated and sent at a third rate that is slower than the second rate.
