Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a data transmission method in a CDMA cellular radio system, which comprises in each cell at least one base station (10) communicating with mobile stations (11, 12) within its coverage area and in which system the base station adjusts the transmitting power of the mobile stations within its area by means of power control massages. To enable coherent detection at the base station, according to the method the transmission on the traffic channel is performed both in the transmission direction from the mobile station to the base station and from the base station to the mobile station by using a similar frame structure. When the base station transmits a power control message to the mobile station by using bits of the frame structure of the traffic channel, the mobile station transmits a predetermined bit pattern to the base station in the corresponding bits of the other transmission direction of the traffic channel.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
A data transmission method in a CDMA cellular radio system, which comprises in each cell at least one base station (10) communicating with mobile stations (11, 12) within its coverage area and in which system the base station (10) adjusts the transmitting power of the mobile stations (11, 12) within its area by means of power control messages, characterized in that both in the transmission direction from the base station (10) to the mobile station (11, 12) and from the mobile station (11, 12) to the base station (10), the transmission on the traffic channel is performed by using a similar frame structure, and that when the base station (10) transmits a power control message to the mobile station (11, 12) by using bits of the frame structure of the traffic channel, the mobile station (11, 12) transmits a predetermined bit pattern to the base station (10) in the corresponding bits of the other transmission direction of the traffic channel.

A data transmission method in a CDMA cellular radio system, which comprises in each cell at least one base station (10) communicating with mobile stations (11, 12) within its coverage area and in which system the base station (10) adjusts the transmitting power of the mobile stations (11, 12) within its area by means of power control messages, characterized in that both in the transmission direction from the base station (10) to the mobile station (11, 12) and from the mobile station (11, 12) to the base station (10), the transmission on the traffic channel is performed by using a similar frame structure, and that when the base station (10) transmits a power control message to the mobile station (11, 12) by using bits of the frame structure of the traffic channel, the mobile station (11, 12) transmits a predetermined bit pattern to the base station (10) in the corresponding bits of the other transmission direction of the traffic channel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A method according to claim 1, characterized in that the bits used for the transmission of both the power control message of the base station (10) and correspondingly the predetermined bit pattern of the mobile station (11, 12) are permanently reserved from the frame structure for this purpose.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
66 words
A method according to claim 1, characterized in that the bits used for the transmission of both the power control message of the base station (10) and correspondingly the predetermined bit pattern of the mobile station (11, 12) are temporarily reserved from the frame structure by replacing a number of the data bits of the user with the message or the bit pattern to be transmitted.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method according to claim 1, characterized in that the predetermined bit pattern transmitted by the mobile station (11, 12) is used at the base station (10) for generating a coherent phase reference.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method according to claim 1, characterized in that the predetermined bit pattern transmitted by the mobile station (11, 12) is used at the base station (10) for power measurement.
