A method and device for making measurements on a control channel carrier that is not transmitting continuously with constant power is disclosed. In a system transmitting control on, e.g., one timeslot and not keeping a constant power on the other timeslots, the invention makes sure that, e.g., a mobile station always opens its measurement window during the control channel timeslot. A measurement window is made significantly shorter than a timeslot duration.

Methods and apparatus for measuring control carrier signal strength in wireless communications systems employing discontinuous control carrier transmissions

A system and method for a synchronized packet data communication system is described. Briefly control channels are transmitted in a reuse pattern defined by both frequency and timeslot division. Each timeslot division is such that different timeslot groups included in the repetition pattern are separated by at least one timeslot. No traffic data transmissions occur simultaneous to the control channel transmissions. Furthermore, a synchronization channel is introduced to be transmitted on the same physical channel as other packet common control channels.
