1. A method for increasing throughput capacity of a mobile station transmitting a plurality of bursts to a base station in a communication system, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a first burst using a first burst format including at least one first data field having a first number of bits;
transmitting succeeding bursts using a second format including at least one second data field having a second number of bits greater than said first number of bits, said at least one second data field including third and fourth data fields and said second format including a synchronization field.

Abstract
A method for increasing throughput capacity of a mobile station transmitting a plurality of consecutive bursts to a base station in a communication system is disclosed. The first burst is transmitted using a normal burst format while succeeding consecutive bursts are transmitted using an auxiliary burst format wherein the auxiliary bursts contain larger data fields than normal bursts.

9. A method for transmitting data from a mobile station to a base station in a communication system, comprising the steps of:
-
transmitting data from the mobile station to the base station in bursts, wherein said bursts can be in different formats; receiving said bursts at said base station; determining the format for each burst by detecting the presence or absence of various physical layer fields in said received burst wherein said physical layer fields include guard, ramp, preamble, and additional synchronization fields; and decoding the data contained in each received burst based on the determined format. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. A mobile station comprising:
-
a processor for determining whether said mobile station is to transmit at greater than full-rate, and, if so, grouping information in a first burst and succeeding bursts; and a transmitter for transmitting a first burst using a first burst format; and
for transmitting succeeding consecutive bursts using a second burst format different than said first burst format. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A method for transmitting data from a mobile station to a base station in a communication system, comprising the steps of:
-
transmitting data from the mobile station to the base station in bursts, wherein said bursts can be in several different formats; receiving said bursts at said base station; determining the format for each burst based upon information received from a reverse channel scheduling section of said base station; and decoding the data contained in each received burst based on the determined format. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
