First Claim
1. A method for data transmission to a plurality of units on wireless discontinuous channels including a control/safety information (CSI) channel having a duty cycle, and a plurality of service channels, the method comprising:
- evaluating channel utilization of one or more of the wireless discontinuous channels by directly monitoring the one or more wireless discontinuous channels;
calculating a single optimal CSI channel duty cycle responsive to the channel utilizations, wherein the single optimal CSI channel duty cycle is shared by all of the plurality of units to transmit data;
adjusting the duty cycle of the CSI channel to the calculated single optimal CSI channel duty cycle to be shared by all of the plurality of units to transmit data;
broadcasting the single optimal CSI channel duty cycle to all of the plurality of units; and
transmitting data according to the single optimal CSI channel duty cycle.
