Abstract:
1. A method for establishing transmission format parameters between communication devices, the method comprising: receiving, by a first user equipment, a first indicator of a first subset of a master set of transmission format parameters from a first base station, wherein the master set of transmission format parameters is shared between the first base station and the first user equipment, wherein the first subset is specifically assigned to a first communication session between the first user equipment and the first base station, and wherein the first subset specifies which subset of the master set of transmission format parameters is allocated for use in the first communication session; generating first feedback data based on the first subset; transmitting the first feedback data to the first base station; and receiving, by the first user equipment, a second indicator of a second subset of the master set of transmission format parameters, wherein the second subset is assigned by the first base station upon initiation of a second communication session between the first base station and the first user equipment and the second subset is specifically assigned to the second communication session, wherein the second subset specifies which subset of the master set of transmission format parameters is allocated for use in the second communication session, and wherein the first subset and the second subset are assigned independently of one another.
