APPARATUS AND METHOD RELATING TO A POWER QUOTIENT USED IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

There is provided a method for implicitly signaling a power quotient to a user equipment, the power quotient providing a relationship between a reference signal and a data signal. The method comprises the steps of receiving a downlink control signal from a radio base station, the downlink control signal containing an index signal that is provided for indicating a modulation and/or coding scheme being used by the radio base station, and using the index signal to determine a power quotient that is to be used by the user equipment.
