METHODS AND APPARATUS OF ENHANCED CODING IN MULTI-USER COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS

摘要

First and second sets of information are transmitted using a relatively large
transmission block including a plurality of minimum transmission units (MTUs),
each MTU corresponds to a unique combination of resources. A first set of said
MTUs is used in conveying said first set of information, said first set
including at least a majority of said MTUs in the transmission block. A second
set of said MTUs is defined, e.g., selected, for use in conveying said second
set of information, said second set of MTUs including less MTUs than first set
and at least some MTUs included in the first set. The first and second sets of
information are communicated by transmitting at least some MTUs included in
said first and second sets of MTUs with the corresponding information
modulated thereon. The communicating of the information may be through
superposition of the first and second information on shared MTUs.
