Abstract
Message packets for passing control information between a central telecommunications station and a controller for one or more telecommunications stations include: a packet header including a packet start pattern and a message size identifier for individually setting a message size for respective packets; a variable number of message records, each having a size relating to the message size selected for the packet; and a packet terminator including a unique packet end pattern invalid as an initial bit sequence for a message record. The tracking of transmissions is facilitated by the use of cyclical sequence numbers and an arrangement whereby up to a predetermined number of messages may be sent without an acknowledgment.
