In this embodiment, the + A t force is positive for the first station to receive an indication from the selected delivery format that the radio station is available, and - from - does not indicate that the selected delivery format is available. The exact second station is in the above-mentioned embodiment - when the use of a good indication as a non-transferable format, it should be "delivered: the confirmation is limited to a positive confirmation. [Embodiment] A radio communication system 5A is described with reference to FIG. 1', which includes a first station 100, and a plurality of second stations 200 coupled to a destination node device 4. The first station 100 can be, for example, a mobile communication device and the second station 200 can be a mobile communication network. The term, node device, is used to refer to any device's data coupled to each of the plurality of second stations 2 to be sent to the node device. The first station 100 includes a PI-41005-EN-SPCL-110812 -9- 1354507 transmitter lio for transmitting data on an uplink 31 。. The transmitter no has a wheel that is coupled to an antenna 120 via a coupling member 13 ,, and the coupling member 30 can be coupled, for example, to a circulator or a switch. The coupling member 130 is also coupled to a receiver 14 - for receiving signals from the downlink 32 of the antenna 120. The components coupled to the transmitter no and receiver 140 are a control component 150, such as a processor 'for processing signals received from the second station 2'. The second stations 200 each include a receiver 240 for receiving data transmitted by the first station 100 on the uplink 310. Receiver 24A has an input coupled to an antenna 22 via coupling member 230, which may be, for example, a circulator or transfer switch. The coupling member 23 is also coupled to an output of a transmitter 210 for transmitting a downlink signal via the antenna 22A. The components coupled to the transmitter 210 and the receiver 240 are a control component 25, such as a processor, for processing data signals received from the first station j. Control member 250 includes a storage member 260. The node device 400 includes a receiver 41 for receiving data transferred by the second stations 200. It also includes additional components for operating the received data, such as components for storage, transfer, or processing. Since such components are not important to the present invention, they are not shown in the drawings. The operation of the radio communication system 5 will now be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In Fig. 2, the steps on the left side of the flow chart relate to the steps performed on the right side of the steps performed by the first station 1〇〇 with respect to each of the stations of the second stations 2〇〇. The steps shown in the square with dashed lines are optional steps. At step 500, each second station 2's control component 25 determines which of the delivery formats are currently available to the second station 200 for receiving data. A list of one of these formats can be dynamically determined or stored in the storage member 260 using the above evaluation parameters or ρΐ-41005-EN-SPCL-l 10812 -10· 100.08.12, page 94114429. Also at step 500, each of the second station 2's control components 250 determines certain delivery formats that are evaluated to produce unacceptable interference when used by other stations of the second station. The possible parameters for this * flat are described above. These latter delivery formats are formatted as prohibited, and a list of such formats can be stored in storage component 260. The prohibited format selected by a second station 200 may be a subset of the formats currently not available for each of the second stations 200 to receive data. In step 510, each second station transmits a first indication of one of the one or more delivery formats currently available to each of the second stations via the transmitter 21, and if the presence of the prohibited transmission format is also indicated, the indication is arbitrarily It is forbidden to pass a second indication of the format. The first station 100 receives the indications from each of the second stations 200 via its receiver 14 at step 520'. At step 530, control device 15 utilizes the received first and second indication selection-delivery formats. This selection is selected from the delivery formats available to all second stations 2 and the delivery formats that are only available for the subset of the second stations 2 and excludes the per-forbidden delivery format. . At step 540', the first station 1 transmits the data via the transmitter " using the selected delivery format. At step 550, one or more stations of the second station 2 receive the resource at step 560, and the one or more stations of the second station 2 that receive the data forward the received data to a purpose. In Fig. 4, the object is a section PI-41005-EN-SPCL-110812 1354507 100.08.12 No. 94114429. In optional step 570, the data is received and the second station is transferred to the second station 2 of the node device 400. The confirmation can be a positive confirmation of the successful receipt of the data, and the J-Meng has not successfully received the negative confirmation of the loan. If necessary, regardless of the indication that the selected format is not available, the second station 2 that receives the transmitted data in the selected format may pass; 'confirm; in the other option, the delivery of such confirmation may be limited Only confirmed. / In optional step (10), the 'first station' has just received a confirmation via the receiver. The receiver 14 can be adjusted to receive an acknowledgment from the second stations available to indicate the selected delivery format, and to receive acknowledgments from the second stations not indicating that the selected delivery format is available. For example, if the receiver M0 is a receiver for a coded multi-directional proximity (CDMA) acknowledgment signal, the receiver can be adjusted to associate the code used by all of the second stations 200, not just the Etc.########################################################### After step 580, the first station 1 can decide whether to retransmit the material based on whether it has received a confirmation.
