Abstract
First and second classes of broadcast information, which have different repetitive rates, are transmitted in repetitive shared blocks of a Packet Broadcast Control Channel (PBCCH) of a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) wireless communications system. The first class of broadcast information may be transmitted at a higher repetition rate in the shared blocks of the PBCCH than the second class of broadcast information. The same sequence of broadcast information of the first class may be transmitted in each instance of a shared block of the PBCCH along with successive portions of the broadcast information of the second class. The shared blocks may be evenly spaced apart within the PBCCH.
