1. A method for determining capabilities of a remote terminal by a base station, the method comprising:
- maintaining an active voice call with the remote terminal;
sending a single discovery burst to the remote terminal;
receiving a response from the remote terminal; and
determining whether the remote terminal is capable of multi-user on one slot operation based on the response.

Abstract
A cellular communications system in which transmission of control signals for plural different remote stations is so displaced in time that the transmission of control signals for one remote station does not interfere with the transmission of control signals for another remote station, the displacement being sufficient to prevent contemporaneous reception of control signals by the remote station intended for the other remote station. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
