The present invention provides methods for improving the performance an d efficiency of time sharing wireless networks by reducing collisions, eliminating wasted bandwidth caused by unnecessary gaps between transmissions, and reducing the amount of control information broadcast from the base station. The prese nt invention accomplishes this by synchronizing the actions of the remote units in the wireless network to the control messages sent by the base unit and having th e base unit compensate for the inherent system latency in detenmining when control messages should be sent. The present invention also consolidates the functionality of some of the control messages in order to reduce bandwidth usage. |
