A protocol layer on top of the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) system of paired devices to provide transmission that allows arbitrary sizes of data to be sent. To guarantee transmissions, the transmissions may be validated and, if required, resent to replace data that was lost or corrupted. The protocol layer also supports Remote Procedure Calls to allow functions on either of two connected devices to be executed on one device on behalf of the other. A further protocol layer also allows high priority, short messages to temporarily interrupt the transmission of low priority, long messages.

A receiver receives a radio signal from a transmitter of a wireless communication system serving a plurality of receivers. The radio signal includes for the plurality of receivers served by the transmitter a plurality of control messages and a redundant control message for at least one of the control messages. The receiver detects a control message from the radio signal, and, responsive to detecting the control message, the receiver detects a signal from another location in the radio signal. The receiver determines the detected control message as a specific control message for the receiver based on the signal detected from the other location.
