Abstract:
A method for configuring a telecommunication system comprising a plurality of entities implementing a phase of communicating data conveyed by a plurality of transport channels, wherein said entities comprise at least one sending entity and at least one receiving entity, a phase of communication of said sending entity comprises a plurality of processing procedures specific to said plurality of transport channels, each processing procedure comprises a rate matching step and said rate matching step executes a transformation of an input block of an initial size (Xi) into an output block of a final size (Yi) by at least one of puncturing and repetition, said method further comprising:a step of determining, by at least one of said plurality of entities as a first entity, a parameter (Pq) representative of a maximum puncture rate of (Pq/PBASE); a step of transmitting said parameter (Pq) from said first entity to another of said plurality of entities, referred to as a second entity; and a step of calculating, by said second entity, for each of said processing procedures, said final size (Yi) of said output block obtained by said rate matching step as a function of said initial size (Xi) of said input block on a basis of a criterion, said criterion being dependent on said parameter (Pq) determined by said step of determining.
