Abstract

A method for data transmission is provided for determining movement speed and/or location of a mobile communication device; selecting, based on the movement speed and/or the location of the mobile communication device a frequency hopping mode from a plurality of frequency hopping modes to be used for data transmission to or from the mobile communication device; and transmitting the data using the selected frequency hopping mode.

Claims (22)

1. A method for data transmission, comprising:

receiving information about inter cell interference generated by the mobile communication device;

selecting, based on the received information about the inter cell interference, a frequency hopping mode from a plurality of frequency hopping modes to be used for data transmission to or from the mobile communication device;

wherein according to a first frequency hopping mode, frequency hops are more frequent than according to a second frequency hopping mode, and the first frequency hopping mode is selected if the inter cell interference lies above a first threshold; and

transmitting the data using the selected frequency hopping mode.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second frequency hopping mode is a semi-statical allocation of sub-carriers.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein if a movement speed of the mobile communication device lies under a second threshold or lies above a third threshold the second frequency hopping mode is selected.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein if the mobile communication device is located at the border of a radio cell, the first frequency hopping mode is selected.

5. A communication system, comprising:

a receiving circuit for receiving information about inter cell interference generated by the mobile communication device;

a selecting circuit configured to select, based on the received information about the inter cell interference, a frequency hopping mode from a plurality of frequency hopping modes to be used for data transmission to or from the mobile communication device;

wherein according to a first frequency hopping mode, frequency hops are more frequent than according to a second frequency hopping mode;

the selecting circuit being configured to select the first frequency hopping mode if the inter cell interference lies above a first threshold; and

a transmitting circuit configured to transmit data using the selected frequency hopping mode.

6. The communication system according to claim 5 , wherein the receiving circuit and the selecting circuit are located in a radio access network of the communication system.

7. The communication system according to claim 5 , wherein the transmitting circuit is located within the mobile communication device.

8. A communication system comprising:

a receiving means for receiving information about inter cell interference generated by the mobile communication device;

a selecting means for selecting, based on the received information about the inter cell interference, a frequency hopping mode from a plurality of frequency hopping modes to be used for data transmission to or from the mobile communication device;

wherein according to a first frequency hopping mode, frequency hops are more frequent than according to a second frequency hopping mode;

the selecting means being configured to select the first frequency hopping mode if the inter cell interference les above a first threshold; and

a transmitting means for transmitting data using the selected frequency hopping mode.
