Abstract
In a wireless communications network comprising at least two subscriber terminals each operative to communicate with the same base station using a different PHY mode transmissions than the other, a method and apparatus for allowing communications with these subscriber terminals along a single frequency communication channel is provided. The communication is carried by defining common radio transmission frames in which each of the at least two PHY modes communications is carried out while occupying a different part of the common radio transmission frames. Preferably, at least one of the PHY modes is in compliance with IEEE 802.16 Standard.
