Patent ID: 7724699

Claim:
In a transmission system for transmitting simultaneously at a global transmission power, corresponding to a global quality factor on reception, a set of various multiplexed services having specific predetermined error rate requirements matching individual quality factors achievable with adequately adjusted current individual transmission powers, a method of resource optimization comprising: a step of balancing said current individual transmission powers with respect to an estimate, for a given service, of a difference between the specific predetermined error rate requirement and a measured current error rate; a step of determining from a reference performance curve estimates of the individual quality factors matching the corresponding specific predetermined error rate requirements, for deriving initial rate matching parameters and for transmitting said initial rate matching parameters to an emitting entity; a step of transmitting said initial rate matching parameters from a receiving entity to an emitting entity; a step of measuring the current error rates of given services and the corresponding global quality factor for deriving extrapolated updates of said reference performance curve; a step of deriving from the extrapolated updates, intermediate global quality factor estimates and corresponding required individual quality factors matching the specific predetermined error rate requirements of said given services; and a step of adapting the rate matching parameters based on the required individual quality factors in response to a difference detected between the intermediate global quality factor estimates for any two services.
