Patent Images
1. A method for communicating messages using a radio signal, comprising:
- transmitting a radio signal according to an air interface standard for wireless radio communications;
modulating a carrier of the transmitted radio signal while maintaining compliance with the air interface standard to send a first message to a first receiver compliant with the air interface standard; and
modulating a baseband envelope of the transmitted radio signal while maintaining compliance with the air interface standard to send a second message to a second receiver, the modulating of the carrier occurring concurrently with the modulating of the baseband envelope.

Abstract
A method and system communicates messages using a radio signal. The radio signal is transmitted according to an air interface standard for wireless radio communications. A baseband envelope of the transmitted radio signal is modulated while maintaining compliance with the air interface standard to encode a message in the radio signal. A receiver demodulates the baseband envelope to decode the message. The transmitter and receiver can be part of a cellular telephone network including mobile telephones and base stations.

33. A system for communicating messages using a radio signal, comprising:
-
a transmitter configured to transmit a radio signal according to an air interface standard for wireless radio communications, the transmitter further comprising means for modulating a carrier of the transmitted radio signal while maintaining compliance with the air interface standard to encode a first message and means for modulating a baseband envelope of the transmitted radio signal while maintaining compliance with the air interface standard to encode a second message, the modulating of the carrier occurring concurrently with the modulating of the baseband envelope; and
a receiver configured to receive the radio signal according to the air interface standard for wireless radio communications, the receiver further comprising means for demodulating the baseband envelope of the received radio signal to decode the second message.
