ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a device and a method for communicating in a mobile communication system. The method provides a carrier signal having a plurality of frames. Each frame has a plurality of time slots, and each time slot comprises a plurality of transmission bits. A group of time slots are assigned to a communication channel. A traffic burst signal having a plurality of traffic symbols is transmitted over the communication channel by transmitting a first preamble over one of the assigned time slots, and transmitting a second preamble and at least one of the traffic symbols over at least one of the other assigned time slots. The second preamble occupies fewer transmission bits than the first preamble. The apparatus for transmitting a telephony signal over an RF channel includes a modem receiving a digitized PCM telephony signal and producing a traffic burst signal, and a transmitting unit in communication with the modem for transmitting a FDMA/TDMA signal carrying a plurality of traffic burst signals. At least one of the traffic burst signals carries a limited preamble message including a header field and a unique word field and at least one digitized voice message associated with a telephone call. Another traffic burst signal carries at least one signal acquisition message including a unique word field.
