Patent ID: 7894541

Claim:
A receiving and transmission method for receiving an up-link signal from a telephone and transmitting a first down-link signal and a second down-link signal to the telephone as a down-link signal, comprising: when the up-link signal is transmitted from the telephone to a base station: receiving the up-link signal, wherein the up-link signal has information of a first data stream, the first data stream is modulated according to a QPSK; and demodulating the up-link signal to produce the first data stream; when the down-link signal is transmitted from the base station to the telephone: scrambling a second data stream to produce a scrambled second data stream; a first error correction code (ECC) encoding step for ECC encoding a data stream to produce an ECC encoded first data stream; a second error correction code (ECC) encoding step for ECC encoding the scrambled second data stream to produce an ECC encoded second data stream; wherein a scheme of the first ECC encoding step is different from a scheme of the second ECC encoding step, and wherein the second error correction code is changeable; modulating the ECC encoded first data stream according to a QPSK to produce a first modulated signal and modulating the ECC encoded second data stream according to an n-level PSK or an n-level QAM to produce a second modulated signal, wherein the data stream includes information representing the value of n; and transmitting the first modulated signal as the first down-link signal and transmitting the second modulated signal as the second down-link signal.
