Method and system for transport block size signaling based on a modulation type for HSDPA
View Patent ↗A device for communicating with a mobile device is provided. The devices includes a transmitter. The transmitter transmit a first modulation scheme, a first transport block size, and a first redundancy version to a mobile device. The first transport block size is represented by a first number of bits and the first redundancy version is represented by a second number of bits. The transmitter transmits a packet based on the first modulation scheme to a mobile device. transmitter transmits a second modulation scheme, a second transport block size, and a second redundancy version to the mobile device. The second transport block size is represented by a third number of bits and the second redundancy version is represented by a fourth number of bits, wherein the third number of bits is greater than the first number of bits, and the fourth number of bits is less than the second number of bits. The transmitter transmits the packet based on the second modulation scheme to the mobile device.
