Patent ID: 8467746

Claim:
A method for transmission of a transmission signal, as a mobile radio signal, to a receiver, where the transmission signal is processed in accordance with a modulation coding scheme and is subjected to amplitude limiting to achieve a ratio between a maximum transmission power and an average transmission power, where an error limit value for an error in the transmission signal is matched as required to transmission conditions for the transmission signal, and where one transmission condition is a carrier to interference ratio to be maximized at the receiver for a fixed predetermined peak value to noise ratio, comprising: determining an optimum limit value for an error in the transmission signal by determining a relationship between the error in the transmission signal and a predetermined ratio of the maximum transmission power to the average transmission power in a transmitter; determining a maximum carrier to interference ratio at the receiver and the error in the transmission signal associated therewith for an undefined, fixed peak value to noise ratio at the receiver; associating the error in the transmission signal associated with the maximum carrier to interference ratio as a maximum limit value for the maximum carrier to interference ratio at the receiver; and repeating said determining of the maximum carrier to interference ratio and said associating for different peak value to noise ratios; estimating a load level in a radio cell using a parameter load between 0% and 100%, to decide on appropriate measures for access control, overload control or sequence control; and presetting the error limit value for an error of the transmitter defined as EVM TX using the parameter load.
