Abstract:
1. A method for a telecommunication system including a plurality of communication devices, said telecommunication system using a Code Division Multiple Access type technology, at least one of said plurality of communication devices transmitting data on at least one physical channel, said at least one physical channel transmitting a transport channel composite and having a maximum physical bit rate, said transport channel composite including data of a plurality of transport channels, each transport channel having at least one transport format, said at least one transport format being predetermined for each transport channel, each of said transport channels being processed by a separate and distinct processing procedure, said method comprising the steps of: transforming, for each of said transport channels in said telecommunication system, an input number of bits into an output number of bits; calculating a ratio of said maximum physical rate to a maximum value of rate estimators in said telecommunication system; calculating a rate matching ratio for each of said transport channels in said telecommunication system by multiplying said ratio obtained in said calculating step by a rate matching parameter for said transport channel, said rate matching parameter controlling said rate matching ratio for said transport channel; and determining, for each of said transport channels in said telecommunication system, a variation between the output number of bits and the input number of bits, said output number of bits being calculated by multiplying said rate matching ratio by said input number of bits, said determining step being implemented before said transforming step.
