A method includes allocating channels in a fast-feedback channel region for a plurality of devices, and transmitting to the plurality of devices at least one bitmap defining fast-feedback uplink channel allocations for individual ones of the plurality of devices. In one embodiment a plurality of bitmaps are transmitted, the plurality of bit maps together informing individual ones of the plurality of devices of permission to use none, one or more than one particular fast-feedback channel. In this case each bitmap includes a plurality n of bit positions corresponding to n indices, where each device is identified by an associated one of the n indices, and where a bit at an index value p in a first bitmap and a bit at the same index value p in a second bitmap, when concatenated together, equal a number of fast-feedback uplink channels that are allocated to a particular device associated with the index value p.

In a wireless mesh network a method includes, at a first node, receiving a transmission from a second node during a first sub-frame of a frame with a first transceiver operating with a first center frequency; processing the received transmission; and transmitting, after a predetermined fixed interval, with a second transceiver operating with a second center frequency the processed received transmission to a third node during a second sub-frame of a subsequent frame or of the same frame. Also disclosed are computer programs to execute the method, as well as apparatus constructed to implement the method.

The present invention provides a method, a mobile terminal device and a system for determining a transmission power factor. During an uplink of data between a mobile terminal device and a base station via a code division multiple access (CDMA) system supported by automatic repeat request (ARQ) first transmission containing original data and re-transmissions of different order containing supplementary information are communicated. The i-th re-transmissions are based on the automatic repeat request (ARQ). The transmission power factor to be determined is operable with an i-th re-transmission. A first and a second error quantity are obtained from an evaluation of status information items received in accordance with the automatic repeat request (ARQ). The first error quantity and the second error quantity allow for deriving an i-th error ratio so as to calculate a transmission power correction factor.

The present invention provides a method to enhance the RACH message transmission of a wireless communication systems. Therefore the known RACH procedure for uplink transmission is extended by additional steps in order to allow the usage of adaptive transmission parameters for uplink transmissions, preferably the usage of adaptive modulation and coding (AMC). This is advantageous because studies in high-speed downlink packet access show the possibility to increase the data rate of a downlink shared channel. The method according to the invention introduces a new RACH message preamble and enables the base station to estimate suitable adaptive transmission parameters like an AMC setting according to the current transmission conditions which are used during the RACH message transmission.
