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 subseque nt burst comprising the signaling field (300'') is defined, and a position of a t least one subsequent burst comprising the synchronization field (300') is defined.
