Abstract
A method and apparatus for code multiplexing one or more control signals onto a shared control channel. According to the present invention, a control signal for transmission from a base station to a mobile station terminal is repeated in each slot of a predetermined time interval. The control signal in each slot is spread using a bit-level spreading sequence, where the bit-level spreading sequence varies from slot to slot according to a predefined sequence-hopping pattern. The spread control signals generated for transmission to each mobile station terminal are then combined and spread using a common channelization code.
