<p>In a digital broadband broadcasting system (30), in which information is transmitted and received periodically in bursts to reduce receiver power consumption, time-slice information is provided from the transmitter (31) to the receiver (41). The time-slice information can include information from which the receiver can determine when a subsequent transmission burst will be transmitted. The time-slice information can include a burst duration, an amount of time between original bursts, the time between an original burst and a copy of the burst, and numbering of original bursts. This type of time-slice information can be placed into packet headers, such as one or more bytes reserved, but not used, for media access control addressing.</p> |
