Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for transmitting data in a communication system with a given number of activatable communication connections to and / or from existing communication connections, via which signals can be transmitted simultaneously in a common frequency band, in particular for transmitting data in a UMTS communication system m TDD mode, wherein the signals have a data part and a training part, in particular a midamble, and m symbols which are known to the training part and have previously been incorporated between the respective transmitter and receiver of the signals can be transmitted.
  • the signals can be transmitted by radio and / or by fixed lines.
  • messages for example voice, picture information or other data
  • radio communication systems this is done with the help of electromagnetic waves via an air or radio interface.
  • Carrier frequencies are used which lie in the frequency band intended for the respective system.
  • GSM Global System for Mobile Communication
  • the carrier frequencies are in the range of 900 MHz.
  • UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunication System
  • 3rd generation systems frequencies in the frequency band around 2,000 MHz are planned.
  • a method of the type mentioned at the outset for radio transmission of digital signals from a transmitter side to a reception side is known from EP 0 767 543 A2.
  • so-called bursts are transmitted together with the data training sequences, which enable the receiver to determine the discrete-time impulse responses of the active transmission evaluate channels (channel impulse responses) to determine the received data.
  • the mobile radio system considered in EP 0 767 543 A2 is a joint detection code division multiple access (JD-CDMA) mobile radio system, in which a combination of the known multiple access methods frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA) and CDMA is used.

  • FDMA frequency division multiple access
  • TDMA time division multiple access

  • CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
  • a subscriber-specific CDMA code is assigned to the signals of the individual subscribers.
  • the data is transmitted in bursts consisting of a training sequence in the form of a midamble and two data blocks that are sent before and after the midamble.
  • the midambles contain subscriber-specific test signals that are known to the receiver in the base station and enable channel estimation there.
  • the midamble code to be sent by a specific subscriber consists of a sequence of elements which is divided into information units (chips).
  • the midamble code has a predetermined number of chips.
  • the data blocks of the bursts are encoded with the subscriber-specific CDMA code before they are transmitted.
  • the sum of all signals of the active participants arrives at the receiver. Since the signals of the participants are at least in part ⁇ example transmitted in a common frequency band at the same time, the receiver must the sum signal among the Verwen- fertil Mittambelinformation into the individual signals and decode disassemble.
  • the relevant midamble information of the individual participants serves this purpose.
  • the sum of the midamble information is, for example, partly overlaid with the received data information, namely the part of the midamble information received first and last due to different transit times of the bursts transmitted simultaneously.
  • the middle part of the received midamble information can be free be evaluated by overlay, using knowledge of the received symbols.
  • the midamble for each subscriber or for each communication connection must have a section with a length which is sufficiently large to be able to contain information of the channel impulse response which can be estimated for the communication connection. If the evaluable part of the midamble is shorter than the sum of these individual lengths, not every channel impulse response can
  • the length of the midamble or training sequence is then selected according to the maximum possible number.
  • This solution is known, for example, from private CDMA radio telephone systems in which individual handsets can be connected to one or more base stations via radio connections. For example, a base station can simultaneously communicate with four handsets over a common frequency band.
  • the evaluable part of the midamble or the training part is set to four times the estimated length of information of the channel impulse response that can be estimated for one of the possible communication connections.
  • the base station Betrie ⁇ In many cases, but not all four possible handsets are registered at the base station, that is, for example, a maximum of two handsets ben via the base station Betrie ⁇ .
  • the midamble is therefore designed to be unnecessarily long so that the available frequency band cannot be used to the greatest possible extent for data transmission or for other purposes.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for data transmission of the type mentioned at the outset, which enables the optimum use of the available transmission capacity when signals from several communication connections are transmitted simultaneously over a common frequency band.
  • the length of the traim part is set depending on the number of communication connections that can be activated.
  • Activatable communication connections are understood to mean communication connections that can be built up to existing communication connections. In private CDMA radio telephone systems, for example, these are possible communication connections to and / or from hand-held devices and / or other devices that are registered or logged into the system. In particular, however, it is possible to change the number of activatable communication connections during the operation of the communication system, for example by setting up further activatable communication connections to existing communication connections and / or by setting up further communication connections.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to UMTS communication systems m TDD (Time Division Duplex) mode and / or FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) mode.
  • An essential advantage of the method according to the invention is that the length of the training part is adapted to the number of communication connections that can be activated, so that the training part does not take up any unnecessary part of the transmission capacity. For example, in the case of multiple access methods that work according to the TDMA-CDMA principle, the maximum possible bandwidth in each time slot can be fully used for data transmission.
