Abstract:
1. In a method for transmitting a signaling message between a base station and a mobile station over a half rate channel, where in the case of a full rate channel, traffic data and a signaling message are both interleaved over n bursts diagonally, and where in the case of a half rate channel, the traffic data is interleaved over k bursts diagonally, the improvement comprising: transmitting over k diagonally interleaved bursts on a half-rate channel an encoded signaling message in a first radio packet; consecutively transmitting over k diagonally interleaved bursts on the half-rate channel the encoded signaling message in a second radio packet, wherein the first and second radio packets are diagonally interleaved with one another over m bursts, wherein m is greater than k.
