System and method for signaling control information in a mobile communication network

Abstract

A method of decoding encoded information, communicated over a radio channel includes receiving a vector of encoded information transmitted by a wireless terminal. The encoded information includes an encoded representation of unencoded information bits that have been encoded using a first order Reed-Muller code. The method also includes generating a vector of transform values by performing a Hadamard Transform on the received vector and identifying a subset of the transform values based on scheduling information associated with the wireless terminal. Additionally, the method includes selecting, from the subset of transform values, one of the transform values based on a magnitude of the selected transform value and determining an estimate of the unencoded information bits based on a bit sequence associated with the selected transform value. In accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure, an apparatus is operable to implement this method.

Problems solved by technology

Even though many modern communication technologies provide procedures for a device to request retransmission of unsuccessfully received information, it may be difficult or impossible for a device to determine that it missed receiving schedule information if the device is not sure what schedule information was expected

Furthermore, while a device could simply report all the scheduling information it received, and thereby allow the network to determine by inference what scheduling information the device did not receive, a considerable amount of network transmission resources would be incurred when the mobile device successfully receives all scheduling information. Unnecessarily exhausting on such signaling
