摘要:
A system (50) for communicating data packets from a first station (100) to a destination (400) via at least one of a plurality of second stations (200) which are coupled to the destination (400), in which the second stations (200) acknowledge receipt of the data packets. The first station (100) decides whether to retransmit a data packet or to proceed with transmitting the next data packet, the decision being dependent on receiving a plurality of positive acknowledgements or a plurality of negative acknowledgements.

Data packets having different assigned priorities are multiplexed by operating a queue for each different priority of data packet and assembling groups (80) of the data packets for transmission. Each group has two portions. A first portion (90) of the group is populated with data packets selected from one or more of the queues according to a first rule and a second portion (95) of the group is populated with data packets selected from one or more of the queues according to a second rule. Preferably the first portion contains data packets having the highest priority, and the second portion contains a selection of the data packets having a lower a priority. Selection of data packets for the second portion may depend on criteria such as delay experienced and queue length. The size of the first and second portions may be adapted according to delay experienced and queue length.

Data is transmitted from a first station to a second station, by following method: at the first station, dividing the data into a sequence of data packets and transmitting the sequence of data packets; at the second station, receiving the data packets and transmitting acknowledgements indicating whether the data packets have been received successfully; at the first station, retransmitting as a sub-sequence of a plurality of sub-packets a data packet which has not been received successfully; and at the second station, reconstituting the data from the data packets and sub-packets; wherein the data packets comprise a sequence number providing an indication of position of each data packet within the sequence of data packets, and the sub-packets comprise a sub-packet indicator providing an indication of position of each sub-packet within the sub-sequence of sub-packets, and wherein the sequence numbers and sub-packet indicators include a plurality of numbers in common.
摘要:
A method of operating a communication system in which transmissions in a first direction, say from a base station, comprise frames formed by data packets and transmissions in a second direction, say from a user equipment (U E), comprise substantially continuous transmissions having acknowledgement fields (ARQ-A, ARQ-B) for data packets and transmission gaps (GP) to allow the UE to make other measurements. The acknowledgement fields are mapped to the data packets to enable the base station to determine which data packets are being acknowledged. In order to avoid ambiguity in mapping acknowledgement fields to data packets when a transmission gap occurs, a single data packet is transmitted in either the frame whose acknowledgement field would occur in the transmission gap or the frame whose acknowledgement field would occur immediately following the transmission gap. Thus the base station will know that the acknowledgement field immediately following the transmission gap maps onto the data packet transmitted in the selected one of the two frames. In one embodiment a data packet is not transmitted in the frame whose acknowledgement field would occur immediately following the transmission gap. In a refinement of the method, the selection of the particular frame is related to the one which can support a high rate data packet.

Data is transmitted from a first station (410) to a second station (450), by: at the first station (410), dividing the data into a sequence of data packets and transmitting the sequence of data packets; at the second station (450), receiving the data packets and transmitting acknowledgements indicating whether the data packets have been received successfully; at the first station (410), retransmitting as a sub-sequence of a plurality of sub-packets a data packet which has not been received successfully; and at the second station (450), reconstituting the data from the data packets and sub-packets; wherein the data packet data packets comprise a sequence number providing an indication of position of each data packet within the sequence of data packets, and the subpackets comprise a sub-packet indicator providing an indication of position of each sub-packet within the sub-sequence of sub-packets, and wherein the sequence numbers and sub-packet indicators include a plurality of numbers in common.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for communicating between a primary station and at least one secondary station, comprising configuring each secondary station to search at least one of a plurality of search spaces having a first structure, said first structure consisting of at least a first number of resource sets having a first size, where at least one resource set might be used to transmit a message to the considered secondary station, changing the search space structure to a second structure different from the first structure in response to a signalling message.
摘要:
The present invention relates to method for communicating between a primary station and a secondary station comprising (a) at the secondary station, upon arrival of a data packet to be transmitted to the primary station, buffering said data packet in a buffer, and transmitting to the primary station a request for an uplink transmission resource if a request condition is satisfied, said request condition being based on at least one previous grant of uplink transmission resource, (b) at the primary station, granting to the secondary station an uplink transmission resource to be used.

A method of operating a communication station including queuing data units, estimating the transmission delay of at least one of the data units in the queue, and if the estimated transmission delay exceeds a threshold, requesting permission to transmit at least one data unit.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of exchanging data between a first station and a second station, said data being exchanged in packets. Said method comprises the steps of: receiving a packet from the second station; decoding said packet; —determining whether to transmit to the second station a resource allocation message on a signalling channel; if a said resource allocation message is transmitted, further transmitting to the second station a first indicator signal on an indicator channel; if both the decoding has not been successful and the said resource allocation message is not transmitted, transmitting to the second station a second indicator signal on the indicator channel.
摘要:
First and second data is transmitted simultaneously by modulating a first set of signal constellation points, corresponding to the first data, with second data thereby creating a second set of constellation points. The second set of constellation points comprises two subsets corresponding to two values of the first data. The constellation points are selected such that the minimum distance between the first and second subsets is not less than the minimum distance between the constellation points of the first set of constellation points.
