Information transmission method, mobile communications system, base station and mobile station
View Patent ↗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.
1. An information communication method for a mobile station based on code division multiple access, being informed of a transport block set size by identification codes, and performing communication using a plurality of channelization codes, the information communication method comprising the steps of:
receiving
a first identification code representing a number of multicode which is a number of channelization codes assigned to the mobile station, the first identification code furthermore being used for identifying the transport block set size,
a second identification code representing a modulation scheme used in the code division multiple access, the second identification code furthermore being used for identifying the transport block set size, and
a third identification code used to specify the transport block set size in combination with the first identification code and the second identification code, wherein a plurality of the third identification codes correspond to a combination of the first identification code and the second identification code; and
identifying
the transport block set size by the combination of the first identification code, the second identification code and the third identification code, received in the receiving based on a table which indicates a relation between the transport block set size and the combination of the first identification code, the second identification code and the third identification code,
wherein
the transport block set size belongs to a first set of transport block set sizes or a second set of transport block set sizes which is different from the first set of transport block set sizes,
each difference between two transport block set sizes included in the first set of transport block set sizes is an integer multiple of a predetermined number, and
at least a part of the difference between each two transport block set sizes included in the second set of transport block set sizes is not an integer multiple of the predetermined number.
2. A mobile station based on code division multiple access, being informed of a transport block set size by identification codes, and performing communication using a plurality of channelization codes, comprising:
a receiving means for receiving
a first identification code representing a number of multicode which is a number of channelization codes assigned to the mobile station, the first identification code furthermore being used for identifying the transport block set size,
a second identification code representing a modulation scheme used in the code division multiple access, the second identification code furthermore being used for identifying the transport block set size, and
a third identification code used to specify the transport block set size in combination with the first identification code and the second identification code, wherein a plurality of the third identification codes correspond to a combination of the first identification code and the second identification code; and an identifying means for identifying
the transport block set size by the combination of the first identification code, the second identification code and the third identification code, received by the receiving means based on a table which indicates a relation between the transport block set size and the combination of the first identification code, the second identification code and the third identification code,
wherein
the transport block set size belongs to a first set of transport block set sizes or a second set of transport block set sizes which is different from the first set of transport block set sizes,
each difference between two transport block set sizes included in the first set of transport block set sizes is an integer multiple of a predetermined number, and
at least a part of the difference between each two transport block set sizes included in the second set of transport block set sizes is not an integer multiple of the predetermined number.
