Patent ID: 7054381

Claim:
An apparatus for a TFCI (Transport Format Combination Indicator) mapping in a wireless communication mobile station, comprising: an encoding unit for encoding a TFCI transmitted from a main control unit; a TFCI mapping unit for generating a necessary control parameter and a TFCI code by using a signal encoded by the encoding unit and a signal transmitted from the main control unit; and a CPU for controlling the encoding unit and the TFCI mapping unit, wherein the TFCI mapping unit includes: a mapper control block for receiving (a) a signal (TGSTART) indicating a start slot of a non transmission section TG, (b) a signal (TGLENGTH) indicating a length of TG from the CPU, (c) a strobe signal (TFCI STB) necessary for receiving a 32 bit TFCI code value from the encoding unit, (d) a signal (TFCI LOAD) indicating start of a new frame, (e) a signal (TFCI ON) which becomes 1 in a TFCI transmission section within one slot, (f) a transmission interval signal of the TFCI (SF 256 EN) of the TFCI and (g) a main clock signal MCLK, from the wireless communication mobile station, wherein the mapper control block generates a first output signal SEL 2 [ 1 : 0 ], a second output signal SEL 4 [ 3 : 0 ]and a third output signal SEL 3 [ 2 : 0 ]; and a shift register blockin which the TFCI mapping is completed and for receiving control signals (SEL 2 [ 1 : 0 ], SEL 4 [ 3 : 0 ] and SEL 3 [ 2 : 0 ]) from the mapper control block, receiving a serial value of the 32 bit TFCI code value (TFCI_DATA) from the encoding unit, receiving the main clock signal (MCLK) from the wireless communication mobile station, and generating a TFCI TFCI O code value.
