Methods And Apparatus For Simultaneous Transmission And Reception Of A Data Sequence And Channel Information For Link Adaptation

Abstract: The present invention refers to methods and apparatus for simultaneous transmission and reception of a data sequence (d) and channel information (CI) for link adaptation. In order to provide a method a transmitter element (34) and a receiver element (38) that consume less transmission resources and improve the overall spectral efficiency of the network a method and a transmitter element (34) for simultaneous transmission of a data sequence (d) and channel information (CI) for link adaptation over a radio channel (29) of a wireless network (11) is suggested the method comprising encoding said data sequence to a codeword (c) using a channel encoder (19) and transmitting (21) the codeword (c) over the radio channel (29) wherein the method further comprises including the channel information (CI) into the codeword (c) using said channel encoder (19) the codeword (c) comprising both the data sequence (d) and the channel information (CI). Furthermore a corresponding method and receiver element (38) for receiving and decoding the transmitted codeword (c) are suggested.
