Abstract:
1. A method, in a base station, for modulating information intended for transmission to a terminal, wherein the base station, the terminal, and a control node are part of a wireless communication network, and wherein the information comprises first and second data blocks, the method comprising: obtaining a first Uplink State Flag (USF) value and a second USF value to be sent across the first data block and the second data block; encoding a first part of the first USF value, a first part of the second USF value, and the first data block for a first modulation technique; modulating the encoded first parts of the first and second USF values and the encoded first data block according to the first modulation technique; encoding a second part of the first USF value, a second part of the second USF value, and the second data block for a second modulation technique, different from the first modulation technique; and modulating the encoded second parts of the first and second USF values and the encoded second data block according to the second modulation technique.
