Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de transmission d'informations qui se rapportent au domaine technique des communications, et la solution technique considère l'impact d'un faisceau sur la transmission d'informations, de façon à améliorer la robustesse d'un canal de commande. Le procédé peut comprendre : la réalisation, selon des informations d'indication de faisceau, d'une mise en correspondance de débit pour une première séquence de bits pour obtenir une seconde séquence de bits, la première séquence de bits étant la séquence de bits obtenue après qu'un codage de canal a été effectué sur une séquence de bits d'origine ; le mappage de la seconde séquence de bits sur une ressource temps-fréquence ; et l'envoi, par l'intermédiaire d'un faisceau indiqué dans les informations d'indication de faisceau, la seconde séquence de bits mappée sur la ressource temps-fréquence à une extrémité de réception.
