1. A method comprising:
- encoding and modulating a first set of frames such that a latency associated with demodulating and decoding the first set of frames is less than a first time interval;
encoding and modulating a second set of frames such that a required latency associated with demodulating and decoding the first set of frames is less than a second time interval;
transmitting the first set of frames and the second set of frames via a transmitter; and
regularly and periodically blanking the transmitter during a null interval associated with transmitting the second set of frames, wherein the sum of the null interval and the second time interval is less than or equal to the first time interval, wherein blanking the transmitter during the null interval comprises refraining from transmitting data via the transmitter during the null interval.

Abstract
A method comprises encoding and modulating a first set of frames such that a latency associated with demodulating and decoding the first set of frames is less than a first time interval, encoding and modulating a second set of frames such that a required latency associated with demodulating and decoding the first set of frames is less than a second time interval, transmitting the first set of frames and the second set of frames via a transmitter, and blanking the transmitter during a null interval associated with transmitting the second set of frames, wherein the null interval and the second time interval are less than or equal to the first time interval.

6. A device comprising:
-
an encoder and a modulator, wherein the encoder and the modulator encode and modulate a first set of frames such that a latency associated with demodulating and decoding the first set of frames is less than a first time interval, and wherein the encoder and the modulator encode and modulate a second set of frames such that a required latency associated with demodulating and decoding the first set of frames is less than a second time interval; and a transmitter that transmits the first set of frames and the second set of frames, wherein the transmitter regularly and periodically blanks during a null interval associated with transmitting the second set of frames, wherein the sum of the null interval and the second time interval is less than or equal to the first time interval, wherein to blank during the null interval, the transmitter refrains from transmitting data via the transmitter during the null interval. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A device comprising:
-
means for encoding and modulating a first set of frames such that a latency associated with demodulating and decoding the first set of frames is less than a first time interval; means for encoding and modulating a second set of frames such that a required latency associated with demodulating and decoding the first set of frames is less than a second time interval, means for transmitting the first set of frames and the second set of frames via a transmitter; and means for regularly and periodically blanking the transmitter during a null interval associated with transmitting the second set of frames, wherein the sum of the null interval and the second time interval is less than or equal to the first time interval, wherein the means for blanking the transmitter during the null interval comprises means for refraining from transmitting data via the transmitter during the null interval. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution cause one or more processors to:
-
encode and modulate a first set of frames such that a latency associated with demodulating and encoding the first set of frames is less than a first time interval; encode and modulate a second set of frames such that a required latency associated with demodulating and decoding the first set of frames is less than a second time interval; transmit the first set of frames and the second set of frames via a transmitter; and regularly and periodically blank the transmitter during a null interval associated with transmitting the second set of frames, wherein the sum of the null interval and the second time interval is less than or equal to the first time interval, wherein the instructions that cause the processor to blank the transmitter during the null interval further cause the processor to refrain from transmitting data via the transmitter during the null interval. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
