Abstract

A novel scheme efficiently indicates to a plurality of users which user has been granted access to a multi-access packet channel. Transmission and reception of a predetermined limited number of echo bits per timeslot reduces bandwidth usage, and over the duration of a packet, these bits are equivalent to a variable length random identification number which is used for identifying which user has been granted access.
