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 (300) IS ONE OF A SYNCHRONIZATION FIELD (300') AND A SIGNALING FIELD (300'').WHEN THE FIELD (300) IS A SYNCHRONIZATION FIELD (300'), A POSITION OF AT LEAST ONE SUBSEQUENT BURST COMPRISING THE SIGNALING FIELD (300'') IS DEFINED, AND A POSITION OF AT LEAST ONE SUBSEQUENT BURST COMPRISING THE SYNCHRONIZATION FIELD (300') IS DEFINED.
