Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for transmitting a plurality of information streams having variable data rates. A plurality of information streams are multiplexed together into a common information frame. The information is channel encoded and multiplexed with a number of overhead bits including encoding information on the multiplexed frame. The multiplexed frame is then demultiplexed into at least one channel frames that are each transmitted over a separate code channel such that the first code channel always includes the overhead bit data.
