Abstract:
A telecommunications network which computes a Calculated Transport Format Combination (CTFC) which is signaled to at least one of a node of the network and a user equipment unit, the Calculated Transport Format Combination (CTFC) having a value which is decoded to obtain an associated Transport Format Combination Indicator (TFCI) and thereby determine transport format combinations,wherein the Calculated Transport Format Combination (CTFC) is generated by the following expression: CTFC&af;(TFI1,TFI2,K,TFII)=&Sum;i=1I&it;TFIi&CenterDot;Pi,wherein I is a number of transport channels TrCH; wherein TFC(TFI1, TFI2, . . . , TFII) is a transport format combination for which transport channel TrCH1 has transport format TFI1, TrCH2 has transport format TFI2, etc., wherein Pi=&Product;j=0i-1&it;â€ƒ&it;Lj,wherein i=1, 2, . . . , I, and L0=1; and wherein Lj is a number of transport channels.
