Abstract
A communication system and method for transmitting relatively short data messages in the communication system. A dedicated frequency is sequentially switched into each of a plurality of satellite beams or traffic channels to transmit data messages at an increased power level to provide an increased signal margin. The increased power level of the dedicated frequency can be combined with coding and bit and message repetition to further increase the signal margin.
