Claim:
A method of generating a composite transport channel in a system having at least two transport channels, comprising the steps of: receiving at a multiplexer a radio frame from each transport channel; and multiplexing the radio frames into a composite transport channel, wherein if the bits subject to the multiplexing are defined as c N,1 , c N,2 , . . . , c N,KN , where N is a channel number and KN represents the number of bits in a radio frame, and if the result of the multiplexing is d 1 , d 2 , . . . , d p , where p is the number of bits, then, when j=1, 2, 3, . . . , P (P=K 1 +K 2 + . . . +K N ), the multiplexing is defined by d j =c i,j for j= 1, 2, . . . , K 1 , d j =c 2,(jâˆ’K1) for j=K 1 +1, K 1 +2, . . . , K 1 +K 2 , d j =c 3,(jâˆ’(K1+K2)) for j =( K 1 +K 2 )+1, ( K 1 +K 2 )+2, . . . , ( K 1 +K 2 )+ K 3 . . . d j =c N,(jâˆ’(K1+K2+ . . . +KNâˆ’1)) for j =( K 1 +K 2 + . . . +K Nâˆ’1 )+1, ( K 1 +K 2 + . . . +K Nâˆ’1 )+2, . . . , ( K 1 +K 2 + . . . +K Nâˆ’1 )+ K N .
