A time division multiple access communication system is disclosed, in which down link data are transmitted over a data channel in repeated time frames each containing a plurality of time slots. Down link set up information is transmitted over a control channel to indicate from which time slot a user terminal should extract data. Each frame on the data channel includes a user packet flag to indicate whether or not each time slot in the frame contains data. Each user terminal is responsive to the set up information and to the user packet flags to extract data from its assigned time slot in those frames which the slot is indicated to contain data.

A packet switched communications system is provided in which a station communicates with at least one user over downlink communication channel, the downlink communication channel being divided into a plurality of frames and each frame including a plurality of data packets. Each data packet is directed to a predetermined user and includes transmission power control information for said user. An extended transmission power control information field is provided in at least one data packet in every frame, which includes transmission power control information for 10 at least one other user of the communication system.
