Method for selectively allocating a limited number of bits to support multiple signaling types on a low bit rate channel

摘要

In a wireless communication system with an air interface comprising a plurality of bursts, a plurality of bursts is defined. Each burst comprises a field ( 300 ) embedded within the burst. The field is one of a synchronization field ( 300 ') and a signaling field ( 300 ''). When the field is a synchronization field, a position of at least one subsequent burst comprising the signaling field is defined, and a position of at least one subsequent burst comprising the synchronization field is defined.
