Abstract
A portable radio (104) initiates a communication link using a synchronous protocol format. A base station (102) generates a synchronization pattern (200) which includes a marker. The marker (202) includes a generic code that invites portables to make link requests. The portable radio (104) synchronizes to the marker (202) and recognizes the generic code that indicates base availability. The portable radio (104) sends a link request in response to the generic code to initiate the communication link, and the base station (102) grants a link in order to establish the communication link.
