Abstract

A method for improved data communications in a wireless system is described. An enhanced access burst is provided having an additional logical information field, or alternately using one of a set of possible synch sequences indicative of supplementary information. Upon receipt of a system parameter indicating an enhanced access burst capability, the communication unit sends an appropriate enhanced access burst with the increased information. A reduction in system messaging is thus achieved, e.g., by avoiding the need to send the supplemental information via subsequent bursts.
