Abstract
In a multicarrier communication network, specific subcarriers are dedicated for use in carrying burst descriptor information. A subscriber station in the network may monitor the dedicated subcarriers to determine when a burst involving the station is to occur. By using dedicated subcarriers for burst information, scheduling decisions can be made closer in time to the actual bursts.
