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 (33)

1. An information communication method for a mobile station based on code division multiple access for performing communication using a plurality of channelization codes and a transport block set size identified by identification codes, the information communication method comprising the steps of:

receiving, at a mobile station,

a first identification code for indicating the number of codes in a multicode, wherein the number of codes in multicode indicates the number of the channelization codes assigned to a mobile station,

a second identification code for indicating a modulation scheme used in the code division multiple access, and

a third identification code used in the mobile station for identifying the transport block set size,

wherein, the transport block set size is identified from a predetermined relationship linking the transport block set size, the first identification code, the second identification code and the third identification code,

wherein the number of bits of the third identification code to identify the transport block set size is less than a required number of bits in the case where the transport block set size is identified without said relationship with the first identification code and second identification code; and

further identifying the number of the channelization codes based on the first identification code, and the modulation scheme based on the second identification code.

2. The information communication method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the predetermined relationship is shown in a table; and

the transport block set size is identified by utilizing the table.

3. A mobile station based on code division multiple access for performing communication using a plurality of channelization codes and a transport block set size identified by identification codes, the mobile station comprising:

a receiving means for receiving:

a first identification code for indicating the number of codes in a multicode, wherein the number of codes in multicode indicates the number of the channelization codes assigned to the mobile station,

a second identification code for indicating a modulation scheme used in the code division multiple access, and

a third identification code used in the mobile station for identifying the transport block set size,

wherein, the transport block set size is identified from a predetermined relationship linking the transport block set size, the first identification code, the second identification code and the third identification code, and

wherein the number of bits of the third identification code to identify the transport block set size is less than a required number of bits in the case where the transport block set size is identified without said relationship with the first identification code and second identification code; and

an identifying means for identifying the number of the channelization codes based on the first identification code, and the modulation scheme, based on the second identification code.

4. The mobile station according to claim 3 , wherein:

the predetermined relationship is shown in a table; and

the transport block set size is identified by utilizing the table.

5. A base station utilizing code division multiple access, the base station adapted to perform communication using a plurality of channelization codes and a transport block set size identified by identification codes, the base station comprising:

a generating means for generating an identification data comprising

a first identification code for indicating the number of codes in a multicode, wherein the number of codes in multicode indicates the number of the channelization codes assigned to a mobile station,

a second identification code for indicating a modulation scheme used in the code division multiple access, and

a third identification code used for identifying the transport block set size; and

a transmitting means for transmitting the identification data to the mobile station which identifies,

wherein, the transport block set size is identified from a predetermined relationship linking the transport block set size, the first identification code, the second identification code and the third identification code, and

wherein the number of bits of the third identification code to identify the transport block set size is less than a required number of bits in the case where the transport block set size is identified without said relationship with the first identification code and second identification code.

6. The base station according to claim 5 , wherein:

the predetermined relationship is shown in a table; and

the transport block set size is identified by utilizing the table.
