| 1. A method comprising:
receiving at a wireless receiver at least one data packet from each of a plurality of carriers in a wireless communications
system wherein communication operations are performed between users;
deriving an input bit stream indicative of an attribute of said at least one data packet from each of said plurality of carriers,
wherein the input bit stream comprises information to be used in controlling communication operations involving at least one
user of the wireless communications system;
deriving an output block code from a first block code, wherein deriving means selecting output codes from the first block
code, wherein the output codes are each respectively associated with a particular input code, and assigning the output codes
from the first block code to different input codes to generate the output block code;
utilizing the output block code to convert said input bit stream into an output bit stream; and
transmitting said output bit stream to at least one of said plurality of carriers.
