METHOD FOR PROGRAMMING TRANSMISSIONS IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND, PROGRAMMER IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM TO PROGRAM TRANSMISSIONS FOR A PLURALITY OF MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

method for scheduling transmissions on a mobile communication system, and, programmer on a mobile communication system for scheduling transmissions to a plurality of mobile devices, assigning variable bandwidth and frequency hopping are employed to make efficient use of radio resources. Variable bandwidth allocation is achieved dynamically by allocating different numbers of subcarriers to different mobile terminals depending on their instantaneous channel conditions. frequency hopping patterns are determined 'on the fly' based on current bandwidth allocations. bandwidth assignments and frequency hop patterns are signaled to the mobile terminals in a programming concession.
