  • Publication number: 20030128677
    Abstract: The present invention creates a data transfer method, specifically for use in a CDMA system in the TDD mode, a data signal being transmitted in the form of a data stream of data bursts of different users (N1-NK) between a first station (BS) and a second station (MS) via a multiplicity of antennas (A1-AN), and a reference signal being transmitted in connection with the specific data burst. In a first step, a reference signal is transmitted from the second station (MS) to the first station (BS). In a second step, a channel estimation (KS) is carried out in the first station (BS) based on the reference signal that is received from the second station (MS). In a third step, the first station (BS) transmits a data burst to the second station (MS) via the multiplicity of antennas (A1-AN), it being possible to modify the transmission signals of various antennas having various amplitude and phase factors (An, &phgr;n) in accordance with the channel estimation.

  • Publication number: 20030103513
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method for signaling various header data (5, 10, 20, 25) in the transmission of packet data units (1) in a telecommunications network depending on a type of the respective header data (5, 10, 20, 25), which requires the lowest possible bandwidth and bit rate. A set of header data (5, 10, 20, 25) received in a receiver (70) of the telecommunications network, depending on its signaling (30, 35, 40), is supplied to one of at least two groups (50, 55) of algorithms for an evaluation. For a first type of header data (5, 10, 20, 25), a first algorithm is provided in a first group (50) of algorithms, and for a second type of header data (5, 10, 20, 25) a second algorithm is provided in a second group (55) of algorithms, wherein the first algorithm corresponds to the second algorithm. The signaling (30, 35, 40) for the first type of header data (5, 10, 20, 25) and the signaling (30, 35, 40) for the second type of header data (5, 10, 20, 25) are combined into a shared signaling.
