Method and apparatus for memory efficient carrier allocation and online reconfiguration in communication systems

摘要

According to a first aspect of the invention, a method for initializing a data transfer between a first communication device and a second communication device is provided, wherein said data transfer involves encoding and modulating data onto a plurality of carriers. A sequence of said carriers according to which the data is to be modulated onto said carriers which takes an encoding technique into account is calculated at said second communication device and transmitted to said first communication device, leading to a saving of memory. Furthermore, a method for adapting said data transfer is provided involving calculating changes to information concerning said data transfer in said second communication device and sending parameters indicative of the changes to said first communication device.
