Abstract
A data transmission system transmits first data bursts from a base station to mobile stations. The first data bursts at least in some cases contain two or more data blocks that are intended for different mobile stations. The data transmission system furthermore transmits second data bursts from at least one of the mobile stations to the base station and produces guard time intervals between successive data bursts.
Claims30
A data transmission system, comprising:
- a base station and at least two mobile stations in a piconetwork for interchanging data bursts successively by radio using a time slot method;
- a transmitter of said base station being configured to transmit first data bursts to said mobile stations, at least some of the first data bursts containing at least two data blocks intended for different ones of said mobile stations, said transmitter being configured to produce identification information for said piconetwork only at a start of a transmission of each of the first data bursts;
- each of said mobile stations having a transmitter configured to transmit a group of second data bursts containing a data block intended for said base station, said transmitter being configured to produce identification information for said piconetwork at a start of a transmission of the second data bursts;
- and
- a device for producing a guard time interval between the data bursts.
A frame structure for radio transmission of data bursts between a base station and at least two mobile stations in a piconetwork, comprising:
- first data bursts transmitted from the base station to the mobile stations, with at least some of said first data burst containing at least two data blocks, each of said data blocks being intended for different mobile stations, and further containing identification information for the piconetwork at a start of each of said first data bursts;
- second data bursts transmitted from a respective one of the mobile stations to the base station, each of said second data bursts containing a data block intended for the base station and containing identification information for the piconetwork at a start of each of the second data bursts;
- and
- guard time intervals between successive data bursts.
A method for radio transmission of data in a piconetwork between a base station and at least two mobile stations, which comprises the steps:
- (a) transmitting a first data burst from the base station to the mobile stations, the first data burst containing at least two data blocks each intended for a different one of the mobile stations, including transmitting identification information for the piconetwork only at a start of a transmission of the first data burst;
- (b) providing a guard type interval;
- and
- (c) transmitting the second data bursts from one of the mobile stations to the base station, each of the second data bursts containing a data block intended for the base station, each of the mobile stations transmitting identification information for the piconetwork at a start of a transmission of the second data bursts.
