Abstract

A transmitting device (12) and a receiving device (10) in a wireless communications network (1). The transmitting device (12) determines (701) additional information to transmit to the receiving device (10). The transmitting device (12) determined (702) an order of different circular shifts of repeated blocks of data as a set of transmission parameters indicating the additional information, each circular shift shifting bits differently. The transmitting device (12) then transmits (703) information to the receiving device (10), which receives the information, using the determined set of transmission parameters, thereby indicating the additional information to the receiving device (10).

Dependent claims

A method, performed in a transmitting device, for transmitting additional information to a receiving device in a wireless communications network, wherein the method comprises:

determining additional information to transmit to the receiving device, the additional information comprising an ordered sequence of bits;
based on the ordered sequence of bits, selecting an ordered sequence of transmission parameters comprising a plurality of transmission parameters arranged in a sequence of positions, the sequence of positions comprising an initial position, wherein a first transmission parameter of the plurality of transmission parameters is at the initial position in the ordered sequence of transmission parameters and a second transmission parameter of the plurality of transmission parameters is at a second position in the ordered sequence of transmission parameters, the ordered sequence of transmission parameters being selected to indicate the ordered sequence of bits to the receiving device;
applying the first transmission parameter to a first block of data;
applying the second transmission parameter to a second block of data;
and
transmitting information to the receiving device using the ordered sequence of transmission parameters, wherein the ordered sequence of transmission parameters indicates the additional information to the receiving device.
