Abstract:
1. 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 into an output block of a final size by at least one of puncturing and repetition, said method further comprising: a step of transmitting a first parameter representative of a maximum puncture rate and a second parameter representative of a rate matching ratio from said receiving entity to said sending entity; a step of calculating, by said sending entity, for each of said processing procedures, said final size of said output block as a function of said initial size of said input block on a basis of a criterion, said criterion being dependent on said first parameter and said second parameter transmitted in said step of transmitting; and wherein some bits of said input block are punctured or repeated based on a variation between said final size and said initial size in said matching step.
