摘要:
A method of operating a radio telecommunications network including, a plurality of base transceiver stations (BTSs) each transmitting on a respective transmission bandwidth, and one or more mobile terminals (MTs) each having a respective maximum reception bandwidth, defining a common multicast frequency band within the transmission bandwidth of at least a first group of BTSs of the network on which the multicast service is to be transmitted; transmitting a multicast service in the common multicast frequency band from each BTS within the first group of BTSs; and enabling each base station having a bandwidth greater than the width of the common multicast frequency band to transmit a uni-cast service in portion of its transmission bandwidth falling outside the multicast frequency band.

The present invention relates to methods that can be used in a wireless communication system, and systems adapted to use such methods. In a preferred form the methods are useful in channel estimation in a wireless communication system using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The system is provided with a control block to optimise channel estimation.

In a method of transmitting a logical channel by using a downlink transport channel, a plurality of transmission configurations are limited into a limited set of the transmission configurations. Control information relating to the limited set of the transmission configurations of the downlink transport channel is transmitted and at least a part of data of the logical channel is transmitted over the downlink transport channel. Thus, an amount of the control information is reduced.

The invention provides for a method of identifying a cyclic prefix to UEs in an OFDM communication system. The cyclic prefix has a dynamically variable length. The method includes, within an OFDM cell, transmitting MCCH scheduling information in a system information block in an OFDM broadcast channel, and using the MCCH scheduling information to receive the MCCH, wherein the MCCH contains MTCH scheduling information to indicate to the UE which sub-frame carries MTCH.

A method of calculating at least one soft bit corresponding to a data symbol received by a radio receiver is described. In one form the method (300) includes, calculating an average amplitude at least one received data symbol. The method also includes calculating (304) at least one threshold amplitude in respect of the data symbol on the basis of the calculated average amplitude. Next a subset of constellation symbols is determined (310) at least partly on the basis of the at least one threshold, and for which a distance determination will be made. The distance between the position of the data symbol and each of the symbols in the subset of constellation symbols is determined (312) and then a soft bit corresponding to the received symbol is calculated (314) on the basis of said determined distances.

A receiver in which computation is simplified can be obtained by using a common factor for filter coefficients of FIR filters corresponding to a plurality of transmitting antennas and by using only the middle column of an inverse matrix of a gain matrix when the common factor is computed.

In a method of transmitting control channel symbols in an OFDM communication system downlink in each sub-frame, the OFDM communication system including one or more transmit antennae, for each transmit antenna, each of the OFDM symbols of a control channel which are to be transmitted over the air is mapped to each of the corresponding non-punctured logical resource elements of one virtual control resource block VCRBp,k. For each transmit antenna, the logical resource elements in each virtual control resource block VCRBp,k are mapped to physical resource elements in each of the first L OFDM symbols so that the physical resource elements are uniformly spaced over the entire transmission bandwidth. For each transmit antenna, the physical resource elements are transmitted to user equipment.
