Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of selecting a link adaptation parameter for a communication link between a mobile terminal and a network component of a wireless telecommunication network, the method comprising the steps of: providing means for determining of a link adaptation parameter based on a geographic positions of the mobile terminal, determining of a geographic position of the mobile terminal, determining the link adaptation parameter for the communication link based on the geographic position of the mobile terminal.
Claims10
A method of selecting at least one link adaptation parameter for a communication link between a mobile terminal and a network component of a wireless telecommunication network, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing means for determining of a link adaptation parameter based on a geographic positions of the mobile terminal,
- determining of a geographic position of the mobile terminal,
- determining the link adaptation parameter for the communication link based on the geographic position of the mobile terminal.
A method of generating a database for assigning of link adaptation parameters to geographic positions, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) receiving of a link quality parameter from a mobile terminal,
- b) determining of a geographical position of the mobile terminal,
- c) determining of a link adaptation parameter based on the link quality parameter,
- d) storing of the link adaptation parameter being assigned to the geographical position,
- repeating of steps a) to d) for a number of times.
A computer program product, in particular digital storage medium, for selecting a link adaptation parameter for a communication link between a mobile terminal and a network component of a wireless telecommunication network, comprising program means for performing the steps of:
- entering of a geographical position of the mobile terminal,
- performing a database query in a database which stores link adaptation parameters being assigned to geographical positions in order to determine the link adaptation parameter of the geographical position of the mobile terminal,
- outputting of the link adaptation parameter.
A computer program product, in particular digital storage medium, for generating of a database for assigning of link adaptation parameters to geographical positions, comprising program means for performing the steps of:
- entering of a geographical position of a mobile terminal,
- entering of a link adaptation parameter which has been determined for a communication link between the mobile terminal and a network component of a wireless telecommunication network,
- storing of the link adaptation parameter with the assigned geographical position for later retrieval using a geographical position as a key.
A network component of the wireless telecommunication network, the network component comprising:
- means for entering of a geographical position of a mobile terminal,
- means for performing a database query in a database storing link adaptation parameters being assigned to geographical positions using the geographical position of the mobile terminal as a key in order to determine the link adaptation parameter for a communication link to the mobile terminal in the wireless telecommunication network.
A telecommunication network for establishing a communication link between a mobile terminal and a network component, the communication link having a link adaptation parameter, the telecommunication network comprising:
- database means for storing of link adaptation parameters being assigned to geographical positions,
- means for determining of a geographical position of the mobile terminal,
- means for determining of the link adaptation parameter for the telecommunication link based on the geographical position by querying the database using the geographical position of the mobile terminal as a key.
