Method for communicating information in a communication system that supports multiple modulation schemes
First Claim
1. A method of communication between a base station and a mobile station comprising the steps of:
- communicating control information over a non-associated control channel;
communicating voice or data over a traffic channel;
using a first modulation scheme to communicate the control information over the non-associated control channel; and
using a second modulation scheme to communicate the voice and data over the traffic channel, wherein the traffic channel has an associated control channel that uses a third modulation scheme for communicating associated control information.

Abstract
A method of communicating control information in systems that support multiple modulation schemes for communicating voice or data and control information. To provide backward compatibility dedicated control channels use the modulation scheme used in current systems, for example GMSK modulation scheme. Traffic channels and associated control channels use linear modulation schemes that have the same symbol rate. The modulation scheme of the associated control channel uses a reduced signal set of the modulation scheme used for traffic channels. Also, an in-band signalling procedure is used to indicate to a receiving station the modulation type, channel coding and speech coding used for a transmitted burst.

36. A method of communication between a base station and a mobile station, comprising the steps of:
-
transmitting a burst that communicates three sets of information;
modulating a first set of information using a first modulation scheme, wherein the first set of information is control information;
modulating a second set of information using a second modulation scheme that is different from the first modulation scheme, wherein the second set of information is voice and data; and
modulating a third set of information using a third modulation scheme that is different from the first and the second modulation schemes, wherein the third set of information is other control information. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
