Then the base station searches the directory numbersincluded in the signals received through the dedicated channels from the first and second mobile stations duplicates a signal including the directory number of the first mobile station to the first mobile station having the mobile ID which succeeded in the random access and then broadcasts it.The first mobile station compares the signal including its directory number which has been broadcasted by the base station with the signal which has been transmitted by itself and continuously performs communication because the two signals are identical to each other.The second mobile station compares the signal ACK including its directory number which has been transmitted from the base station with the signal which has transmitted by itself.Then the second mobile station tries random access again or stops it after the lapse of a predetermined time of its inner timer because the two signals are different from each other.By doing so resolution of the contention generated between the first and second mobile stations is realized.

The method of claim 11 when the information type field indicates the dynamic chain the signaling packet payload includes an information of the dynamic chain.

In case of transmission of a header compressed IP or UDP or RTP stream with packets of variable length signalling of the length would be required with a corresponding field attached to the related packetdatagram inside the data field of the baseband frames.A signalling of user packet lengths is necessary at the L1 PLP signalling loop level in the case of fixed packetdatagram length for instance as a user packet size parameter UPS.Therefore according to an embodiment of the present invention a user packet size UP Size shall be signalled depending on the concrete application as explained above within the payload of the baseband frames attached to the user packets.This is illustrated in Figure 10.User packets are mapped onto the baseband frames.In particular a user packet 1010 is mapped onto two different baseband frames BBF.The UP Size field of a predetermined length 1020 is added in front of each user packet UP in the payload of the BBF.The length of the UP Size field may be for instance 1 or 2 bytes.There is no necessity to include an UP Size field in front of a fragment of user packet as illustrated by the example of user packet 1010 where a separating line 1030 marks the separation of the user packet 1010 data into two different BBFs.The UP Size is signalled in front of each user packet and provides the length of said packet.Based on the information signalled by the SYNCD parameter synchronization distance within the BBF header cf.Figure 1 the distance between the BBF header and the start of a first complete UP that starts in BBF data field is known.

The ophtalmic composition according to claim 16 comprising administering said ophtalmic composition at least once a day.

The inclusion of hydroxypropylbetacyclodextrins together with sodium hyaluronate in a new ophthalmic solution of this invention provides a protective and beneficial environment for the latanoprost molecule because the active ingredient is housed in the lipophilic cavity of the cyclodextrins and at the same time the hydrophilic surface contributes to the solubility in water while the sodium hyaluronate covers the formed complex.The interaction of the drug with the hydroxypropylbetacyclodextrins and the sodium hyaluronate results in the reduction of the decomposition which grants protection to the active labile in an aqueous environment.
