Method and system for realising a fast control channel in a cellular radio network
First Claim
1. A method for conveying signalling information from a transmitting device to a receiving device in a cellular radio network where user data transmission takes place on a traffic channel in discrete transmission bursts consisting of consecutive symbols, comprising the steps of:
- formatting a piece of signalling information into symbols,transmitting the symbols carrying the signalling information as a block of consecutive symbols in a certain transmission burst of a traffic channel andindicating within said certain transmission burst that it contains symbols carrying signalling information.

Abstract
Signalling information is conveyed from a transmitting device (101) to a receiving device (102) in a cellular radio network where user data transmission takes place on a traffic channel in discrete transmission bursts (111–120; 211–220; 310–313) consisting of consecutive symbols. A piece of signalling information is formatted into symbols which are transmitted as a block of consecutive symbols (FACCH) in a certain transmission burst of a traffic channel. It is also indicated within said certain transmission burst that it contains symbols carrying signalling information.
