Multiplexing of control and data with varying power offsets in a SC-FDMA system

摘要

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate multiplexing of control information and data for common transmission in a localized FDM wireless communication system. Localized FDM transmission of control and data channels can be achieved by, for example, multiplexing control information with data and transmitting the control information and data using resources and transmission schemes specified for transmission of the data. To ensure the reliability of control information multiplexed with data, a power offset can be applied to the control information to provide varying protection levels for the control information based on properties of the data resources into which it is embedded in order to maintain a predetermined signal quality for the control information independent of the data resources.

1. A method for managing control information and data to be transmitted in a wireless communication system, comprising:
receiving the control information and the data to be transmitted with the control information; identifying a bandwidth and a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) specified for transmission of the data; determining a power offset, such that a control signal quality, based on the power offset, the bandwidth, and the MCS, satisfies a baseline control signal quality level, for a transmission of the control information; applying the power offset to the control information; and multiplexing the control information with the data.
