Abstract
Efficient coding and communication is accomplished by transmitting first and second sets of information using a relatively large transmission block including a plurality of minimum transmission units (MTUs), each MTU corresponding to a unique combination of resources. A first set of MTUs is used in conveying the first set of information, the first set including at least a majority of the MTUs in the transmission block. A second set of the MTUs is defined, e.g., selected, for use in conveying the second set of information, the second set of MTUs including less MTUs than the first set and at least some MTUs included in the first set. The first and second sets of information are communicated by transmitting at least some MTUs included in the first and the second sets of MTUs with the corresponding information modulated thereon.
