Abstract
In a method for communication between a first station (BS1) and a second station (MS1) the first station may provide the second station with information associated with the manner how the second station should transmit towards the first station. The second station (MS1) may then transmit e.g. a response to a message from the first station (BS1) based on said information. That is, the second station (MS1) may e.g. use a specific transmission parameter for the transmission instead of transmitting in a manner the second station would have transmitted had it not been provided with said information. A communication system and stations for the communication system embodying the method are also disclosed.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- receiving at a first device a first data packet on a data channel;
- receiving power control information on a control channel;
- and
- controlling an uplink control channel transmission from the first device based at least on the received power control information, wherein the uplink control channel transmission from the first device is an acknowledgement of a data packet received at the first device on said data channel.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus at least to control an uplink control channel transmission from a first device based at least on power control information received from a first station on a control channel, wherein the uplink control channel transmission from the first device is an acknowledgement of a data packet received at the first device on said data channel.
A method, comprising:
- sending a first data packet from a first station on a data channel;
- and
- sending power control information on a control channel, wherein the power control information is for use to control an uplink control channel transmission transmitted to the first station, wherein the uplink control channel transmission from the first device is an acknowledgement of a data packet received at the first device on said data channel.
An apparatus, comprising
- a processor;
- and
- a memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus at least to send from a first station to a first device power control information on a control channel, wherein the power control information is for use to control an uplink control channel transmission from the first device to the first station, wherein the uplink control channel transmission from the first device is an acknowledgement of a data packet received at the first device on said data channel.
