Method and system for forwarding a control information

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and system for forwarding a control information in a transmission signal of a communication network. A dummy information is provided in at least one predetermined portion of the transmission signal, and is replaced at least partly by the control information at a control device arranged on the transmission path of the transmission signal. Signaling space is thus generated by creating the dummy information. Thereby, a fast control signaling can be provided which does not have to be originated at a network controlling functionality. Furthermore, if a dedicated link is used, less power is required and designing of new physical channel types is not required.
