In a system for transmitting data, having a transmitting station and at least one receiving station, data is transmitted in packets of a first type, including a first data type identifier and data, and a second data type identifier, indicative of the type or nature of the data, is transmitted in a packet of a second type, including a further first data type identifier and the second data type identifier, wherein the first data type identifier and further first data type identifier are provided for linking the second data type identifier to the data. As the length of the first data type identifier is shorter than the length of the second data type identifier, the efficiency of the packets of the first type is improved in comparison with a system which only transmits packets of a first type, including the second data type identifier and the data. The invention is especially useful in RDS, wherein the packet of the first type is a version A group and a packet of the second type is a version B group.
A system for transmitting data, comprising a transmitting station and at least one receiving station, said data being arranged in packets of a first type, comprising a first data type identifier, characterized in that said system further comprises packets of a second type, comprising the first data type identifier and a second data type identifier, said second data type identifier being longer than the first data type identifier, a packet of the second type being linked to a packet of the first type through the first data type identifier for linking said second data type identifier to data contained in the packet of the first type.
A method for transmitting data from a transmitting station to at least one receiving station, comprising the steps of:
