METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK USING ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEX WITH TONE RESERVATION IN A COMMUNICATION PATH

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating a mobile telecommunication network (10) using orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) with tone reservation in a communication path, especially in an uplink, between at least one mobile station (11-1,11-2,11-3,11-4,11-5) of a plurality of mobile stations and a network component (12). A first message is thereby transmitted from the network component (12) to the at least one mobile station (11-1,11-2,11-3,11-4,11-5) camping on a cell (13), the first message signalling whether or not tone reservation can be used within the cell (13). Furthermore, in case tone reservation can be used, a second message is transmitted from the network component (12) to the at least one mobile station (11-1,11-2,11-3,11-4,11-5) in the cell (13) providing information about the intended use of reserved tones.
