Abstract
Aspects of the invention are directed to signalling extension frames in a telecommunication system. Extension-frame-signalling data may signal whether one or more extension parts are present in one or more gaps in time between data frames, when the one or more extension parts occur, and one or more durations for the one or more extension parts. The one or more extension parts may occur on the same radio frequencies as the data frames. The extension-frame-signalling data may signal when the one or more extension parts occur by signalling after which of one or more data frames in a super frame the extension parts occur. The one or more durations for the extension parts may be expressed in units of time.
Claims32
A method comprising:
- transmitting, in signalling data included in one or more data frames of a super frame, extension-frame-signalling data that includes one or more parameters of one or more extension parts occurring between data frames of the super frame, wherein the one or more parameters indicate when the one or more extension parts occur in the super frame and indicate one or more durations of the one or more extension parts.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing executable instructions configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- transmit, in signaling data included in one or more data frames of a super frame, extension-frame-signalling data that includes one or more parameters of one or more extension parts occurring between data frames of the super frame, wherein the one or more parameters indicate when the one or more extension parts occur in the super frame and indicate one or more durations of the one or more extension parts.
A method comprising:
- receiving, in signaling data included in one or more data frames of a super frame, extension-frame-signalling data that includes one or more parameters of one or more extension parts occurring between data frames of the super frame, wherein the one or more parameters indicate when the one or more extension parts occur in the super frame and indicate one or more durations of the one or more extension parts.
An apparatus comprising
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing executable instructions configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive, in signaling data included in one or more data frames of a super frame, extension-frame-signalling data that includes one or more parameters of one or more extension parts occurring between data frames of the super frame, wherein the one or more parameters indicate when the one or more extension parts occur and indicate one or more durations of the one or more extension parts.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions configured to, when executed, cause an apparatus to at least:
- transmit, in signalling data included in one or more data frames of a super frame, extension-frame-signalling data that includes one or more parameters of one or more extension parts occurring between data frames of the super frame, wherein the one or more parameters indicate when the one or more extension parts occur in the super frame and indicate one or more durations of the one or more extension parts.
