Abstract

A method for a Code Division Multiple Access telecommunication system implemented by a mobile station. The Code Division Multiple Access telecommunication system implementing a phase of communicating data conveyed by a plurality of transport channels. The Code Division Multiple Access telecommunication system includes at least one base station and at least the mobile station with the mobile station performing a plurality of rate matching steps. Each of the rate matching steps executing a transformation of an input block of an initial size into an output block of a final size by puncturing or repeating at least one bit of the input block.

Claims (9)

1. A method for a Code Division Multiple Access telecommunication system implemented by a mobile station, said Code Division Multiple Access telecommunication system implementing a phase of communicating data conveyed by a plurality of transport channels, said Code Division Multiple Access telecommunication system comprising at least one base station and at least said mobile station, said mobile station performing a plurality of rate matching steps, each of said rate matching steps executing a transformation of an input block of an initial size into an output block of a final size by puncturing or repeating at least one bit of said input block, said method comprising:

receiving a plurality of rate matching parameters from said base station, each of said plurality of rate matching parameters being relative to a rate matching ratio for one of said plurality of transport channels;

calculating an intermediate size of said output block, for each of said plurality of transport channels, by multiplying said initial size of said input block by a corresponding rate matching parameter received from said base station; and

determining, with said mobile station, an available maximum payload for a communication in the Code Division Multiple Access telecommunication system, for at least one radio frame, from among a plurality of possible maximum payloads on a basis of a size of a possible maximum payload and a total sum of said intermediate sizes of said output blocks, each of said plurality of possible maximum payloads being relative to at least one radio frame.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said determining comprises determining, by said mobile station, a smallest maximum payload, as said available maximum payload, among said plurality of possible maximum payloads.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said determining comprises:

selecting a plurality of available maximum payloads;

selecting a smallest maximum payload among said plurality of available maximum payloads; and

performing, by said mobile station, each of said rate matching steps, in accord with said smallest maximum payload.
