in the channel structure used in the communication system using two sets of physical channels one group is used for forward link (50) and the other for reverse link (52) to facilitate the communication of each logical channel. physical channels comprise data and control channels. In an example embodiment the data channel comprises device for transmitting voice traffic data traffic high speed data and other overhead information of the basic channel and complementary channel for transmitting high-speed data. when the remote station is idle can release the basic channel to more fully utilize the capacity can be obtained. using the control channel to transmit paging and control messages and scheduling information.

In a channel structure for use in communication systems two sets of physical channels one for the forward link (50) and another for the reverse link (52) are utilized to facilitate communication of a variety of logical channels. The physical channels comprise data and control channels. In the exemplary embodiment the data channels comprise fundamental channels which are used to transmit voice traffic data traffic high speed data and other overhead information and supplemental channels which are used to transmit high speed data. The fundamental channels can be released when the remote stations are idle to more fully utilize the available capacity. The control channels are used to transmit paging and control messages and scheduling information.
