A method of dynamically allocating active time slots for a terminal (103) that is operating in a packet data communications system (100) which includes a fixed network (101) and user terminals (103), the system using a channel organized into time slots for scheduling data communications between the network and the user terminals, the method including first communicating information (311), further including a terminal ID (313) and a packet key, representative of an active time slot pattern for the user terminal to the network; and second entering, at the user terminal, an active mode during each active time slot of the active time slot pattern (323). |
