Abstract

In an information transmission method, a radio communications system, a base station and a mobile station, a TBS size, a modulation scheme and the number of codes in a multicode are converted into identification data having a relatively smaller data size before being transmitted to a destination of communication. The TBS size is identified by using, in combination, an identification code identifying a channelization code set, an identification code identifying a modulation scheme, and an identification code obtained by converting a combination of the number of codes in a multicode and a modulation pattern identification (TFRC) into a corresponding code. Accordingly, the data size for TBS size identification is reduced.

Claims (14)

1. An information communication method of performing communication using a plurality of channelization codes based on code division multiple access, comprising:

receiving a modulation scheme for use in the code division multiple access, a number of the channelization codes assigned to a mobile station, and an identification code corresponding to a transport block set size; and

identifying the transport block set size based on the received identification code corresponding to the transport block set size;

wherein the identification code corresponding to the transport block set size is continuous numbers expressed by combining bits assigned for signaling of the identification code corresponding to the transport block set size, and the transport block set size belongs to a first set of transport block set sizes or a second set of transport block set sizes different from the first set of transport block set sizes, and

the transport block set size included in the first set of the transport block set sizes is obtained by a part of the continuous numbers, the modulation scheme, and the number of the channelization codes, and

the transport block set size included in the second set of the transport block set sizes is different from that included in the first set of the transport block set sizes.

2. The information communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the transport block set size included in the first set of the transport block set sizes is obtained using a table which includes transport block set sizes calculated based on each number in the part of the continuous numbers, the modulation scheme, and the number of the channelization codes.

3. A mobile station for performing communication using a plurality of channelization codes based on code division multiple access, comprising:

a receiver for receiving a modulation scheme for use in the code division multiple access, a number of the channelization codes assigned to a mobile station, and an identification code corresponding to a transport block set size; and

a converter for identifying the transport block set size based on the received identification code corresponding to the transport block set size;

wherein the identification code corresponding to the transport block set size is continuous numbers expressed by combining bits assigned for signaling of the identification code corresponding to the transport block set size, and the transport block set size belongs to a first set of transport block set sizes or a second set of transport block set sizes different from the first set of transport block set sizes, and

the converter obtains the transport block set size included in the first set of the transport block set sizes based on a part of the continuous numbers, the modulation scheme, and the number of the channelization codes, and

the transport block set size included in the second set of the transport block set sizes is different from that included in the first set of the transport block set sizes.

4. The mobile station according to claim 3 , wherein the converter obtains the transport block set size included in the first set of the transport block set sizes based on a table which includes transport block set sizes calculated based on each number in the part of the continuous numbers, the modulation scheme, and the number of the channelization codes.
