  • Patent number: 7383486
    Abstract: An adaptive forward error correction system for mitigating interference and fading in RF data transmissions has a hub and subscriber stations transmitting and receiving forward error correction encoded data packets. The hub and subscriber stations count codewords and/or packets received with errors. The hub calculates a type of quality measure using the counts and compares this measure to quality thresholds. If an upper threshold is exceeded, the hub increases a size of transmitted active data fields and decreases a size of blank data fields. If a lower threshold is not met, the hub decreases a size of transmitted active data fields and increases a size of blank data fields. Similar changes by subscriber stations are directed by the hub. These changes are coordinated in headers associated with the packets or codewords, via a separate control channel or multi cast via a data stream used for transmitting the data packets.

  • Publication number: 20080049697
    Abstract: A method and a radio communication system transmit user information as a service to several user stations in a radio communication system comprising at least one base station and user stations which are connected to each other via a radio communication interface. The base station signals to the user stations using the at least one service via a group control channel, radio resource information on at least one traffic channel via which the user information of the at least one service is transmitted to the user stations.

  • Patent number: 7106705
    Abstract: For a communication system (e.g. UMTS with CDMA radio interface), the invention draws a distinction between services with high and low data rate dynamics and uses a matched type of signaling for the transport formats currently being used. The data rate of the data for a service can fluctuate greatly and/or rapidly over time (high dynamics), or may fluctuate only a little and/or slowly (low dynamics). The data for the services are transmitted via a common physical channel, with in-band signaling being used for signaling the transport format for the services with high data rate dynamics, and with signaling in a separate channel being used for the services with low data rate dynamics.
