Abstract

A time division multiplexed communications method and system in which time is divided into a number of frames and each frame is divided into N data bursts. The method and system further has a first multiplexer by which a half rate channel is formed as a series of bursts that occur periodically every N bursts once per frame, a second multiplexer in which a full rate channel is formed as two half rate channels on consecutive timeslots, and a transmitter transmitting the full rate channel from a first wireless station to a second wireless station. The full rate channel provided by two half rate channels on consecutive timeslots yields a significantly larger resource pool available for assignment of communication traffic. For full rate channels, the interleaving 0246/1357 method that is used by the system is just as good as the known 0123/4567 method when ideal frequency hopping is used, and the 0246/1357 method performs better when non-ideal frequency hopping or no frequency hopping is used.
