Apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving TBS information in an HSDPA communication system

摘要

An HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) communication system is disclosed. A Node B reduces a size of a field transmitting TBS (Transport Block Set) information for user data based on an MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) level assigned to the user data and the number of codes assigned to the user data, before transmission, instead of transmitting an intact size of the actually transmitted transport block for the user data, among TFRI (Transport Format Resource Information) transmitted to a UE (User Equipment) over a shared control channel.
