ABSTRACT:
A method and means for controlling transmissions among a plurality of communication units is described that determines an inhibit state based upon an inhibit signal and information in a header preceding a coded message before allowing transmission. This inhibit state prevents all of the other remote units from transmitting while a prescribed remote unit transmits a coded message or an acknowledgment (ACK) so that collisions between messages and ACKs, or between one ACK and another, are avoided. Message-message collisions are substantially reduced since the method causes a remote unit to utilize a random delay before attempting a retry to send the message a second time. Hence, the method and arrangement better coordinates inbound transmissions to the base station so that collisions on the inbound channel to the base station are minimized.
