Patent ID: 7027422

Claim:
A method for configuring a plurality of transport channels of a Code Division Multiple Access type telecommunication system, wherein said Code Division Multiple Access type telecommunication system comprises at least one sending entity and at least one receiving entity, a phase of communication from said sending entity having a plurality of processing procedures specific to said plurality of transport channels, each of said processing procedures having a rate matching step, said rate matching step executing a transformation of an input block of an initial size into an output block of a final size, said method comprising steps of: transmitting, by said receiving entity, a plurality of rate matching parameters, each of said rate matching parameters being relative to a rate matching ratio for a corresponding transport channel; receiving, by said sending entity, said plurality of rate matching parameters; calculating, by said sending entity, for each of said transport channels, an intermediate size Y′ i of said output block by multiplying said rate matching parameter by said initial size of said input block; determining, by said sending entity, said final sizes of said output blocks, said final size of said output block for a transport channel i being calculated on a basis of a maximum payload of a multiplexing frame and a ratio of a partial sum ∑ j = 1 j = i ⁢ Y j ′ of said intermediate sizes Y′ i of said output blocks to a total sum ∑ j = 1 j = k ⁢ Y j ′ of said intermediate sizes Y′ i of said output blocks, k being a number of said transport channels; executing, by said sending entity, a corresponding rate matching step, for each of said transport channels, by puncturing or repeating at least one bit of said input block on a basis of said final size of said output block; and multiplexing, by said sending entity, said output blocks on said multiplexing frame.
