Abstract
A facility in a communication system associates a unique identification signal with each currently active communications channel and then transmits the unique identification signal and associated information signals within the respective channel. In this way, apparatus that receives the transmitted signals may determine the number of channels that are active based on the number of the identification signals it receives and then output the received signals at a power level determined as a function of that number.
