Method and system to improve transmission and receipt of channel descriptors
First Claim
1. A method for improving transmission or receipt of channel descriptors, comprising:
- in a wireless communication system that periodically broadcasts regular channel descriptors at a set interval, changing a modulation scheme; and
in response, transmitting one or more supplementary channel descriptors during the set interval between regular channel descriptors.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method (200) and system for improving transmission or receipt of channel descriptors. The method can include the steps of—in a wireless communication system (100) that periodically broadcasts regular channel descriptors (310) at a set interval (312)—changing (212) a modulation scheme and transmitting (216) one or more supplementary channel descriptors (314) during the set interval between regular channel descriptors. The method can also include the step of periodically transmitting (214) a channel descriptor count (412) that provides an indication of the changed modulation scheme.

15. A base station that improves the transmission of channel descriptors, comprising:
-
a transmitter that periodically broadcasts regular channel descriptors at a set interval; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the transmitter, wherein the processor is programmed to change a modulation scheme and in response, the transmitter transmits one or more supplementary channel descriptors during the set interval between regular channel descriptors. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
