US 7,903,575 B2 · Bandwidth-efficient control and bitmap signaling using super position coding in wireless communication systems

Abstract

The present invention is directed to defining forward link (FL) control signaling and bitmap signaling for indicating the channelization codes to be used by access terminals in a mobile communication system. In one aspect of the present invention, a method of allocating resources for a plurality of mobile communication terminals in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes allocating at least one of the plurality of mobile communication terminals to a first group and at least one of the plurality of mobile communication terminals to a second group according to at least one of a location of and a QoS requirement of each of the plurality mobile communication terminals, generating resource allocation information for each of the first group and second group and transmitting the resource allocation information to each of the plurality of mobile communication terminals.

A method of allocating resources for a plurality of mobile communication terminals in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

allocating at least one of the plurality of mobile communication terminals to a first group and at least one of the plurality of mobile communication terminals to a second group according to at least one of a location of and a QoS requirement of each of the plurality mobile communication terminals;
generating resource allocation information for each of the first group and second group;
and
transmitting the resource allocation information to each of the plurality of mobile communication terminals,
wherein the allocation of at least one of the plurality of mobile communication terminals to the first group and at least one of the plurality of mobile communication terminals to the second group is further performed according to anticipated path loss when transmitting information to each of the plurality mobile communication terminals.

A mobile terminal for use in a wireless communication system where resources are allocated for a plurality of mobile communication terminals, the mobile terminal comprising:

a transceiver unit receiving resource allocation information related to each of the plurality of mobile communication terminals;
a display unit displaying user interface information;
an input unit receiving inputs from a user;
and
a processing unit processing specific portions of the resource allocation information according to an allocation of at least one of the plurality of mobile communication terminals to a first group and at least one of the plurality of mobile communication terminals to a second group according to at least one of a location of and a QoS requirement of each of the plurality mobile communication terminals,
wherein the allocation of at least one of the plurality of mobile communication terminals to the first group and at least one of the plurality of mobile communication terminals to the second group is further performed according to anticipated path loss when transmitting information to each of the plurality mobile communication terminals.
