First Claim
1. A wireless field unit comprising:
- a transceiver operatively coupled to a processor, the transceiver and the processor configured to receive a plurality of forward link assignment messages for a plurality of time slots for a plurality of forward link transmissions;
wherein each forward link assignment message includes an indication of a modulation and a code rate associated with a respective forward link transmission;
the transceiver and the processor further configured to receive at least one of the forward link transmissions in at least two time slots, wherein each received forward link transmission is received at the respective indicated modulation and code rate;
the transceiver and the processor further configured to receive a plurality of reverse link assignment messages for a plurality of time slots for a plurality of reverse link transmissions;
wherein each reverse link assignment message includes an indication of a modulation and a code rate associated with a respective reverse link transmission; and
the transceiver and the processor configured to transmit at least one of the reverse link transmissions in at least two time slots, wherein each transmitted reverse link transmission is transmitted at the respective indicated modulation and code rate.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed regarding a field unit, which may receive a plurality of forward link assignment messages for a plurality of time slots for a plurality of forward link transmissions, each message including an indication of a modulation and a code rate associated with a respective forward link transmission. The unit may receive at least one of the forward link transmissions in at least two of the time slots at the respective indicated modulation and code rate. The unit may receive a plurality of reverse link assignment messages for a plurality of time slots for a plurality of reverse link transmissions, each message including an indication of a modulation and a code rate associated with a respective reverse link transmission. The unit may transmit at least one of the reverse link transmissions in at least two of the time slots at the respective indicated modulation and code rate.
