Error detection code generating method and error detection code generator
View Patent ↗In a mobile communication system, an error detection code or a quality frame indicator (e.g., CRC) is generated using selectively frame information, and at least one of a WCA identifier of another terminal, and a corresponding terminal identifier. And the terminal identifier can be implicitly transmitted to the receiver.
1. A method for a receiver to receive a massage from a transmitter over a prescribed channel, the method comprising:
receiving the message containing first information, a first error indication code masked by a terminal identifier and a second error indication code calculated based on the first information and the masked first error indication code at the transmitter;
using the second error indication code, performing a cyclic redundancy check on the first information and the masked first error indication code; and
using the first error indication code, performing a cyclic redundancy check on the first information,
wherein performing the cyclic redundancy check on the first information includes unmasking the first error indication code masked by the terminal identifier.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prescribed channel is a packet data control channel.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the terminal identifier is a Medium Access Control (MAC) identifier.
4. The method of any of claim 1 to 3 , wherein the method is carried out at a terminal identified by the terminal identifier.
