Abstract:
1. A method for improving transmission efficiency of physical layer attributes in a wireless communication system over a physical layer channel supporting attributes, the method comprising the steps of: (a) defining one or more sets of physical layer channel basic attributes which are the attributes that must be supported by the physical layer channel, and each set being respectively represented by a value of a domain of attributes, that is, a value of Profile; and (b) a transmitting apparatus sending a physical layer channel description message which is an uplink channel description message and/or downlink channel description message, wherein the value of Profile is included in the physical layer channel description message and used to represent the physical layer channel basic attributes supported by the apparatus, wherein the channel description message is configured for use by a receiving apparatus to acquire, based on the value of Profile within the channel description message, a set of physical layer channel basic attributes supported by the transmitting apparatus.
