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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A method of operating a packet data multicast communication system which comprises a network or NodeB (BS) and a plurality of mobile stations (MS1, MS2, MS3). The network and the mobile stations have transceiving equipment (14, 34) for the transmission of data packets on a downlink between the network and mobile stations, and feedback signalling (ACK/NACK) on an uplink. The mobile stations have means for receiving a data packet transmitted by the first station, means (46) for measuring the quality of reception, means (30, 48) for determining into which one of at least three predetermined quality ranges the measured quality falls. Each of the at least three predetermined quality ranges represents a respective transmitter behavior of the first station and the transmitter behavior corresponding to at least two non-contiguous ones of the quality ranges is identical.
