Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are provided for selecting and signaling the identity of sub-carriers to be used for transmission of data in a radio communication system, and for using other sub-carriers. A remote unit determines which sub-carriers are acceptable for use in data transmission by comparing the signal to interference ratio of each sub-carrier with a threshold. A base station transmits data over the acceptable sub-carriers at the optimum Link Mode or Link Modes. The base station may use some of the unacceptable sub-carriers for transmission of low sensitivity data at the optimum Link Mode, and may use some of the unacceptable sub-carriers for transmission of data at a lower Link Mode. The transmission power any unused unacceptable sub-carriers can be diverted to other sub-carriers.
