Patent ID: 8724730

Claim:
A method, in a base station, for transmitting information data to a terminal, wherein the base station and the terminal and a control node are part of a wireless communication network and wherein the information data comprises a first data block and a second data block arranged to be transmitted to the same terminal or to different terminals, the method comprising: obtaining a first access grant parameter, Uplink State Flag (USF) value, and a second access grant parameter, USF value, to be sent across the first data block and the second data block; obtaining a first modulation technique associated with the first data block; encoding first parts of the obtained first and second USF values and the first data block for the obtained first modulation technique; modulating the encoded first parts of the first and second USF values and the encoded first data block, according to the obtained first modulation technique; transmitting the modulated first parts of the first and second USF values and the modulated first data block; obtaining a second modulation technique associated with the second data block, the second modulation technique being different from the first modulation technique; encoding second parts of the obtained first and second USF values and the second data block for the obtained second modulation technique; modulating the encoded second parts of the first and second USF values and the encoded second data block according to the obtained second modulation technique; and transmitting the modulated second parts of the first and second USF values and the modulated second data block.
