Abstract
A method of demodulating voice or data and control information in systems that support multiple modulation schemes modulates voice or data using a first linear modulation scheme, such as 16QAM modulation scheme, and modulates control information using a second linear modulation scheme, for example, QPSK modulation scheme, that has the same symbol rate as that of the first modulation scheme. The first linear modulation scheme has a higher modulation level than the second linear modulation scheme. Information modulated using the second linear modulation scheme, which uses a reduced signal set of the first linear modulation scheme, are demodulated using the same demodulator that is used for demodulating information modulated using the first linear modulation scheme. Also, in-band signalling information within a traffic channel, such as stealing flags, are modulated using the second modulation scheme.
