Claims19
A method comprising the steps of:
- identifying in an outbound slot an address of a subscriber unit assigned to transmit in a corresponding inbound slot;
- and
- identifying with one bit in the outbound slot an additional inbound slot the subscriber unit is assigned to transmit in advance of the corresponding inbound slot.
A method comprising the steps of:
- identifying in an outbound slot a random access address that allows at least one of a plurality of subscriber units to transmit in a corresponding inbound slot;
- and
- identifying with one bit in the outbound slot an additional inbound slot at least one of the plurality of subscriber units are allowed to transmit in advance of the corresponding inbound slot.
A method comprising the steps of:
- identifying in an outbound slot a quiet address that prevents all subscriber units from transmitting in a corresponding inbound slot;
- and
- identifying with one bit in the outbound slot an additional inbound slot in which all subscriber units are prevented from transmitting in advance of the corresponding inbound slot.
