Radio telecommunications system, a radio telecommunications station, and a radio telecommunications user terminal, and a method of communicating short messages to user terminals over a common channel

摘要

A method of communicating short messages to user terminals over a common channel. The method includes encoding each message so as to be decodable by selected user terminal(s), combining the encoded messages for transmission as a combined message, and transmitting the combined message. Each user terminal receives the combined message and decoding the message(s) intended for itself from the combined message received.
