Abstract

The modulation indication bit is interpreted as a QPSK/xQAM modulation indication if both the user equipment and the serving cell support 64QAM modulation, such that if QPSK is indicated, the 7 code-set information bits in the HS-SCCH part 1 structure is interpreted as is presently interpreted today as defined in the 3GPP release 5 specification, and if xQAM is indicated, the 7 code-set information bits in the HS-SCCH part 1 structure is interpreted such that only 6 bits are used for code information and one bit is stolen for use for the 16QAM/64QAM selection.
