Abstract

A method for mapping format identification bits onto a frame which is to be transmitted using a compressed mode, in which more TFCI points are available than TFCI bits wherein in order to fill the excess TFCI points with bits as well and at the same time to achieve as high a performance capability as possible, it is proposed that originally punctured TFCI bits and/or an unpunctured format identification code word be transmitted for the uplink and/or downlink.
