Data Transmission Method and System

A method of identifying carriers from a list of carriers in a telecommunication network, each of said carriers allowing transmission of a transmission control frame, each of said transmission control frame comprising:

• a data block corresponding to a data stream, and
• an indication of a previous carrier allocated to the data stream,
• said method comprising, for a transmission control frame received on a given carrier in said list of carriers, the following steps, at least one of which being performed by a receiver device:
• identifying a carrier in the list of carriers using the indication,
• removing the identified carrier from the list of carriers, and
• renumbering the remaining carriers in the list of carriers.

An emitter for coding the identification of carriers from a list of carriers in a telecommunication network, each of said carriers allowing transmission of a transmission control frame, each of said transmission control frame comprising:

• a data block corresponding to a data stream, and
• an indication of a previous carrier allocated to the data stream,
• said emitter comprising, for a transmission control frame and a carrier selected for allocation to said transmission control frame in said list of carriers:
• a computer processing system configured to perform steps of:
• determining the number of binary bits needed to identify the number of carriers in the list of carriers,
• coding the indication based on the determined number of binary bits,
• removing the allocated carrier from the list of carriers, and
• renumbering the remaining carriers in the list of carriers.

A receiver for identifying carriers from a list of carriers in a telecommunication network, each of said carriers allowing transmission of a transmission control frame, each of said transmission control frame comprising:

• an indication of the a previous carrier allocated to the data stream,
• said receiver comprising, for a transmission control frame received on a given carrier in said list of carriers:
• a computer processing system configured to perform steps of:
• identifying a carrier in the list of carriers using the indication,
• removing the identified carrier from the list of carriers, and
• renumbering the remaining carriers in the list of carriers.

A system, said system comprising:

• a telecommunication network,
• an emitter in said telecommunication network for coding an identification of carriers from a list of carriers in the telecommunication network, each of said carriers allowing transmission of a transmission control frame, each of said transmission control frame comprising:
• a data block corresponding to a data stream, and
• an indication of a previous carrier allocated to the data stream,
• said emitter comprising, for a transmission control frame and a carrier selected for allocation to said transmission control frame in said list of carriers:
• a first computer processing system configured to perform steps of:
• determining the number of binary bits needed to identify the number of carriers in the list of carriers,
• coding the indication based on the determined number of binary bits,
• removing the allocated carrier from the list of carriers, and
• renumbering the remaining carriers in the list of carriers, and
• a receiver in said telecommunication network receiver for identifying the carriers from the list of carriers, said receiver comprising, for a transmission control frame received on a given carrier in said list of carriers:
• a second computer processing system configured to perform steps of:
• identifying a carrier in the list of carriers using the indication,
• removing the identified carrier from the list of carriers, and
• renumbering the remaining carriers in the list of carriers.
