Abstract

An arrangement for communicating overhead messages in a wireless communication system providing access to a decentralised network, which achieves bandwidth savings as well as minimising power consumption. In one embodiment, a wireless base station which is connected to a decentralised network transmits a sequence of signatures for overhead messages to a mobile unit. The mobile unit wakes up, receives the signatures and compares them to signatures stored at the mobile unit. If the signatures received by the mobile unit are different from the signatures stored at the mobile unit, the mobile unit stays awake to receive the overhead messages to be transmitted by the wireless base station. If the signatures received by the mobile unit are the same as the signatures stored at the mobile unit, the mobile unit may go back to sleep. Alternatively (figure 5) the mobile station may create a signature upon receiving a data signal, compare the signature to a previous signature, and only update the operating parameters of the mobile if the signatures are different.
