Method and System to Improve Link Budget of a Wireless System

A base station in a wireless communication network, the base station comprising:

• one or more processors and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more processors, to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• determining a parameter of a communication link with a mobile station;
• determining, based on the parameter, a repetition factor for a repetition coding scheme;
• and
• transmitting a request to the mobile station to send identical information to the base station in each of a number of successive communication intervals, wherein the number is based on the repetition factor.

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the UE comprising:

• one or more processors and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more processors, to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving from a base station a request to send identical information to the base station according to a repetition coding scheme, the repetition coding scheme generated in response to a quality of a communication link between the UE and the base station being less than a threshold;
• and
• in response to receiving the request, using the repetition coding scheme to transmit to the base station the identical information in a particular information burst.

A method performed by one or more device processors in a cellular communications network, the method comprising:

• determining a parameter of a communication link with a mobile station;
• determining, based on the parameter, a repetition factor for a repetition coding scheme;
• and
• transmitting a request to the mobile station to send identical information to a base station in each of a number of successive communication intervals, wherein the number is based on the repetition factor.
