Abstract:
1. A method for multiplexing communication connections in a telecommunication system based on time division multiple access, comprising the steps of: defining a burst structure that consists of symbols and fills a time slot at a radio interface, filling the burst structure with symbols, thus composing a transmission burst, and transmitting the transmission burst with a time slot; wherein the step of filling the burst structure with symbols comprises the substeps of: taking information symbols of a first kind and filling a first part of the burst therewith, taking information symbols of a second kind and filling a second part of the burst therewith, taking control symbols and filling certain control parts of the burst therewith, wherein in order to separate different downlink transmissions from a base station to mobile stations the method comprises the steps of: taking information symbols belonging to a first downlink communication connection between said base station and a mobile station and filling a first data field in the burst therewith, taking information symbols belonging to a second downlink communication connection between said base station and a mobile station and filling a second data field in the burst therewith, encoding the information symbols belonging to said first downlink communication connection with a first code before filling said first data field in the burst therewith, and encoding the information symbols to said second downlink communication connection with a second code, which is different than said first code, before filling said second data field in the burst therewith.
