Abstract: Communication methods and apparatuses are provided.

Abstract: A system and method for communication provides an adaptation value for at least one communication parameter, the adaptation value describes a variation of the communication parameter to be enabled during that data communication. The communication parameter is determined such that the variation indicated by the adaptation value is possible during data communication without violating a limit for the communication parameter.

Abstract: A plurality, i.e. at least two, cells are combined into a macro cell. In a macro header of said macro cell a full numbering information of a first cell of said plurality of cells is stored. For further cells of said plurality of cells other than said first cell, a deviation information indicating a deviation of a numbering information of the respective further cell from said full numbering information of said first cell or one of said further cells is stored. In some embodiments, additionally the headers of the individual cells are incorporated in the macro header.
