Transmission method for an amount of data in a fixed time interval, in mobile radio network, involved receipt of permitted time interval information transmitted from base station to mobile which responds according to channel quality

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# A mobile telephone (UE) receives a permitted time interval (PTI) from a base station and determines the channel quality (CQ). If the mobile station ascertains that the quality is not satisfactory at the start of the permitted interval, it delays transmission by a certain time (Dt), so that the mobile unit is only active for a fraction (Tu) of the total (Ta) time interval allowed. Preferably the PTI specifies a maximum transmission rate so that a maximum delay interval is determined accordingly. #CMT# : #/CMT# Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) a mobile station with a transmitter/receiver device for receiving transmitting permission; and (B) a communications network with a mobile station and a base station for issuing transmitting permission to the mobile station. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# For transmitting an amount of data in a fixed time interval from a mobile station, i.e. a mobile phone, to a base station, e.g. a UMTS network. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The mobile station can avoid transmission during periods when channel quality is bad, and delay it until later, if better channel conditions prevail. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing is a graph to illustrate reliance on channel quality for narrowing a scheduling interval.
