Patent ID: 7418266

Claim:
A method, comprising: determining timing associated with a first channel; receiving a grant signal permitting transmission of information over a second channel; and transmitting information over the second channel at a time related to the timing of the first channel and a time at which the grant signal is received, wherein transmitting information over the second channel further comprises transmitting information over the second channel a preselected duration of time after the timing associated with the first channel, and wherein transmitting information over the second channel a preselected duration of time after the timing associated with the first channel further comprises determining the preselected duration of time by multiplying a variable (m) times a constant, wherein the constant is related to the timing of the first channel, and wherein determining the preselected duration of time further comprises multiplying a variable (m) times a constant, wherein the constant is about 10% of a period of time associated with the timing of the first channel.
