Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006100408A1] The invention concerns a method for allocating a plurality of subbands (SB<SUB>i</SUB>) to a plurality of streams (FL<SUB>j</SUB>) of a multichannel link in a multicarrier modulation communication system, each stream (FL<SUB>j</SUB>) being successively defined in a communication frame of said multichannel link by a number M<SUB>j</SUB> of bits to be transmitted and a noise margin G<SUB>j</SUB>. The invention is characterized in that said method includes the following steps: a) associating with each subband (SB<SUB>i</SUB>) a normalized signal to noise ratio (SNR<SUB>0</SUB>)<SUB>i</SUB> on the multichannel link; b) classifying the subbands (SB<SUB>i</SUB>) in a specific sequence of the normalized signal to noise ratios (SNR<SUB>0</SUB>)<SUB>i; </SUB>c) determining by means of a binary allocation algorithm an energy E<SUB>i</SUB> per subband (SB<SUB>i</SUB>); d) allocating for each stream (FL<SUB>j</SUB>) taken in the sequence of said frame, a number N<SUB>j</SUB> of consecutive subbands (SB<SUB>i</SUB>) taken in the sequence of normalized signal to noise ratios, so that the sum of the numbers n<SUB>ij</SUB> of bits in each subband (SB<SUB>i</SUB>) allocated to each stream (FL<SUB>j</SUB>), the number of bits n<SUB>ij</SUB> being defined by: n<SUB>ij</SUB> = log<SUB>2</SUB>(1+E<SUB>i</SUB>,(SNR<SUB>0</SUB>)<SUB>i</SUB>/G<SUB>j</SUB>), is equal to formula (I). The invention is applicable to multicarrier modulation multichannel links.
