Signalling method and telecommunication system
First Claim
1. A signalling method in a wireless digital telecommunication system between a base station and a terminal, the method comprising steps:
- generating the signals between the base station and the terminal from bursts comprising symbols, each of the symbols being generated from several bits by modulating;
indicating, if necessary, the use of a traffic channel for signalling by at least one stealing symbol comprised by the symbols; and
using said stealing symbol for transmitting different signalling messages.

Abstract
A signalling method in a wireless digital telecommunication system, where the signals between a base station and a terminal comprise bursts generated from symbols. The symbols comprise at least one stealing symbol indicating, if necessary, the use of a traffic channel for signalling. The symbols are generated from several bits by modulating and the stealing symbol is used for transmitting various signalling messages. A signalling message to be transferred is coded into a code word which is placed into one or more stealing symbols. The code word may be interleaved into the stealing symbols of several bursts. The method can be used, for example, for controlling the transmission power of the mobile station and the base station.

8. A wireless digital telecommunication system for signalling between a base station and a terminal, in which system the signals to be transmitted on a radio connection between the base station and the terminal comprise bursts generated from symbols, each of the symbols are generated from several bits by modulating, which symbols comprise at least one stealing symbol, which indicate, if necessary, the use of a traffic channel for signalling, the system comprising
at least one transmitter, which comprises means that include a signalling message to be transmitted, means for coding different signalling messages, means for connecting the coded signalling message with the stealing symbols of the signal to be transmitted and means for modulating the signal so that each symbol comprises several bits, and that at least one receiver, which comprises means for identifying the signalling message, means for demodulating the received signal comprising symbols, means for generating the coded signalling message from the stealing symbols in the received signal and means for decoding the coded signalling message.
