METHOD FOR DETERMINING TIME AND FREQUENCY RESOURCES TO BE USED FOR PERFORMING K INDIVIDUAL TRANSMISSIONS OVER N SUCCESSIVE FRAMES IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

Considering individual sequences T 1 ,.., T K over N successive frames for performing K individual transmissions, one time and frequency resource is allocated to each individual transmission per frame. The time and frequency resources can be represented by a grid with time resources on one dimension and frequency resources on another dimension. A managing device: computes a figure of merit G ( A, T 1 ,.., T K ) for each possible set of the individual sequences T 1 ,.., T K over the N successive frames on which respective frequency hopping sequences [ A 1 ,.., A N ] = A apply, the figure of merit G ( A,T 1 ,.., T K ) being representative of transmission robustness to interference and/or noise and/or path loss, and being determined under a constraint such that the frequency hopping sequences A 1 ,.., A N are defined among a predefined set of allowable frequency hopping sequences which is a subset of all the time and frequency resources sequences made possible by said grid; and selects the set of individual sequences T 1 ,.., T K showing the best figure of merit G ( A, T 1 ,.., T K ).
