(145) Embodiment 11 illustrates a diagram of a UE 450 and a base station 400 according to the disclosure, as shown in
(146) The UE 450 includes a controller/processor 490, a data source/buffer 480, a receiving processor 452, a transmitting processor 455, and a transmitter/receiver 456 including an antenna 460.

The controller/processor 440 provides functions of L2 layer 2 and above L2 layer. In DL, the controller/processor 440 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel, and a radio resource allocation for the UE 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller/processor 440 is also in charge of HARQ operation, retransmission of lost packets, and signalings to the UE 450, for example, higher-layer information carried in the second radio signal and higher-layer information carried in the first signaling and the third signaling (in case the first signaling and the third signaling carry higher-layer information) in the disclosure are generated in the controller/processor 440. The transmitting processor 415 performs various signal processing functions used for Layer 1 (that is, PHY), including encoding, interleaving, scrambling, modulation, power control/allocation, precoding, and generation of physical layer control signalings, etc. Physical layer signals of the second radio signal, the first signaling and the third signaling in the disclosure are generated at the transmitting processor 415, the generated modulated symbols are split into parallel streams and each stream is mapped to corresponding multicarrier subcarriers and/or multicarrier symbols, and then the transmitting processor 415 maps it to the antenna 420 via the transmitter 416 to transmit out in form of Radio Frequency (RF) signal. At the receiving terminal, each receiver 456 receives an RF signal via the corresponding antenna 460; each receiver 454 recovers the baseband information modulated onto the RF carrier and provides the baseband information to the receiving processor 452. The receiving processor 452 performs various signal receiving processing functions used for L1 layer. The signal receiving processing functions include reception of physical layer signals of the second radio signal, the first signaling and the third signaling in the disclosure, etc.; multicarrier symbols in the multicarrier symbol streams are demodulated corresponding to different modulation schemes (for example, BPSK and QPSK), and then are descrambled, decoded and deinterleaved to recover the data or control signals on a physical channel transmitted by the first communication node 400, then the data and control signals are provided to the controller/processor 490. The controller/processor 490 implements functions of L2 layer and above L2 layer, and the controller/processor 490 interprets the higher-layer information carried in the second radio signal and the higher-layer information carried in the first signaling and the third signaling (in case the first signaling and the third signaling carry higher-layer information) in the disclosure.

(149) In Uplink (UL) transmission, the data source/buffer 480 provides higher-layer data to the controller/processor 490. The data source/buffer 480 illustrates all protocol layers of and above the L2 layer. The controller/processor 490 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between a logical channel and a transport channel based on radio resource allocation of the base station 400 so as to provide the functions of L2 layer used for the control plane and user plane. The controller/processor 490 is also in charge of HARQ operation, retransmission of lost packets, and signalings to the base station 400. Higher-layer data carried in the first radio signal and higher-layer data carried in the second signaling (when the second signaling carries higher-layer data) in the disclosure are generated at the data source/buffer 480 or at the controller/processor 490. The transmitting processor 455 performs various signal transmitting processing functions used for L1 layer (that is, PHY); physical layer signals of the first radio signal and the second signaling in the disclosure are generated at the transmitting processor 455. The signal transmitting processing function includes encoding and interleaving so as to ensure FEC (Forward Error Correction) at the UE 450, and modulation of baseband signals corresponding to different modulation schemes (i.e., BPSK, QPSK, M-PSK M-QAM, etc.). The modulated symbols are split into parallel streams and each stream is mapped to corresponding multicarrier subcarriers and/or multicarrier symbols, and then the transmitting processor 415 maps it to the antenna 460 via the transmitter 456 to transmit out in form of Radio Frequency (RF) signal. The receiver 416 receives an RF signal via the corresponding antenna 420; each receiver 416 recovers the baseband information modulated onto the RF carrier and provides the baseband information to the receiving processor 412. The receiving processor 412 performs various signal receiving processing functions used for L1 layer, including receiving physical layer signals of the first radio signal and the second signaling in the disclosure, etc.; the signal receiving processing function includes acquiring multicarrier symbol streams, and then demodulating the multicarrier symbols in the multicarrier symbol streams corresponding to different modulation schemes (for example, BPSK and QPSK), and then decoding and deinterleaving to recover the data or control signals on a physical channel transmitted by the UE 450, then the data and control signals are provided to the controller/processor 440. The controller/processor 440 implements functions of L2 layer, including interpreting the higher-layer data carried in the first radio signal and the higher-layer data carried in the second signaling in the disclosure (when the second signaling carries higher-layer data). The controller/processor may be connected to the buffer 430 that stores program codes and data. The buffer 430 may be a computer readable medium.
