Abstract
A base station () assigns a set of mobile stations () to a group wherein the group will share a set of radio resources (). A shared control channel information element () is sent to the group of mobile stations () and provides a bitmap having fields for group ordering (), resource allocations (), failure handling resources (), and an ordering pattern (). If a mobile station fails to decode the shared control channel information element () it will access the failure handling resources in order to receive data. The failure handling channel may be persistent in some embodiments, or may be released after the mobile station is once again able to decode the shared control channel information element () and thereby share in the shared resource pool allocated to its mobile station group.
