Abstract
A method for transmitting a downlink message on a downlink between an access network and a plurality of terminals. The downlink message includes main data to be transmitted to a receiving terminal. Error detection data is generated from the main data. Main data and/or error-detection data are modified on the basis of an identifier of the receiving terminal, using a predefined reversible modification function. The modification is performed at a constant spectral width and for a constant duration with respect to the aforementioned main data and/or error-detection data. A downlink message including the main data and the error-detection data obtained after modification are transmitted. Also, a method for receiving the downlink messages.
Claims15
A method for transmitting a downlink message on a downlink between an access network and a plurality of terminals, the downlink message formed from traffic data to be transmitted to an addressee terminal, the method comprising steps of:
- generating error detection data from the traffic data;
- modifying at least one of the traffic data and the error detection data on a basis of an identifier of the addressee terminal, by a predefined reversible modification function, said modification is made at a constant spectral width and at a constant duration in relation to at least one of the traffic data and the error detection data;
- transmitting, by a base station of the access network, the downlink message comprising the traffic data and the error detection data obtained after the modification;
- and
- wherein the downlink message is transmitted in response to an uplink message previously received from the addressee terminal, the identifier of the addressee terminal is a temporary identifier determined from control data included in the uplink message.
