Method and apparatus for reliable signaling in wireless communication
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor to receive a frame comprising coded data and signaling, the signaling differently coded from the coded data, the signaling coded with improved transmitted reliability separate from a concurrently transmitted reliability of the coded data, to determine received signal quality of the received frame, to determine whether the signaling is reliable based on the received signal quality, a frame rate of the frame, and a target frame error rate for the signaling, and if the signaling is deemed reliable, to recover the signaling and decode the coded data in accordance with the recovered signaling; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

Abstract
Techniques for improving reliability of signaling are described. A transmitter determines if improved reliability is applicable for signaling for a data frame. The transmitter sends the signaling without improved reliability if deemed not applicable and with improved reliability if deemed applicable. A receiver receives the signaling and declares the signaling as reliable or unreliable based on the received signal quality of the received frame and a threshold. The receiver recovers the signaling if deemed reliable and decodes the received frame in accordance with the recovered signaling. The receiver declares the received frame as a null frame or performs some other action if the signaling is deemed unreliable.
