Abstract: A data transmitter is provided, having: a generator for generating transmission data packets, configured to split a first data packet into at least three transmission data packets, each of the transmission packets being shorter than the first data packet, the generator being configured to channel-encode the at least three transmission packets such that only a portion thereof is required for decoding the first data packet; a transmission element for transmitting data packets, configured to transmit the at least three transmission packets in a frequency channel via a communications channel with a time gap; a monitor element for monitoring the frequency channel, configured to recognize an interference or transmission of a further data transmitter in the frequency channel; the transmission element being configured not to transmit via the communications channel a packet, waiting for transmission, of the at least three transmission packets if an interference or transmission from a further data transmitter is recogn

Abstract: Embodiments provide a receiver having a receiving unit and a synchronization unit. The receiving unit is configured to receive a data packet having a pilot sequence. The synchronization unit is configured to separately correlate the pilot sequence with at least two partial reference sequences corresponding to a reference sequence for the pilot sequence of the data packet, in order to obtain a partial correlation result for each of the at least two partial reference sequences, wherein the synchronization unit is configured to non-coherently add the partial correlation results in order to obtain a coarse correlation result for the data packet.

Abstract: A data transmitter is provided, having: a generator for generating transmission data packets, configured to split a first data packet destined for a first data receiver into at least two transmission data packets, wherein each of the transmission data packets destined for the first data receiver is shorter than the first data packet; a transmission element for transmitting data packets, configured to transmit the at least two transmission data packets destined for the first data receiver via a communications channel with a time gap; wherein the transmission element for transmitting data packets is configured to transmit at least one further transmission data packet to the first data receiver or a second data receiver in the time gap between the at least two transmission data packets destined for the first data receiver.

Abstract: A transmitter is configured to operate in a mobile communication system according to a mobile communication standard (e.g., 3GPP), wherein resources of the communication system are divided into resources elements. The transmitter is also configured to transmit an additional telegram by separating the telegram into a plurality of data packets, each of the data packets being shorter than the telegram, and transmitting each of the data packets respectively in one of the resource elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the position of a first sensor node relative to a second sensor node, wherein the first and the second sensor nodes are communicatively connected to each other and are a constituent part of a sensor network, comprising the method steps: reception of signal sections of transmitted signals from at least two transmitters by the first and the second sensor node, beginning at a time t1 for a time period tRX; determining the angle of incidence of the transmitted signals to at least one of the sensor nodes; determining the distance between the sensor nodes from the propagation time differences of the transmitted signals from the at least two transmitters received at the first and second sensor nodes; determining the position of the first sensor node relative to the second sensor node from the distance between the sensor nodes and the angle of incidence of the transmitted signals, wherein the sensor nodes determine the time t1 and the time period t1 in relation to a r

Abstract: A transmitter communicating data using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbols including plural sub-carrier symbols in the frequency domain for modulating with data to be carried. The transmitter includes a modulator to receive data symbols from a first data pipe according to a first communications channel, to receive data symbols from a local service insertion data pipe according to a local communications channel, and to modulate the sub-carrier signals of the OFDM symbols with either the data symbols from the first data pipe or from both the first data pipe and the local service insertion pipe; modulation from the first data pipe maps the data symbols is according to a first modulation scheme, and modulation from the first data pipe and the local service insertion pipe maps the data symbols is according to a second modulation scheme.
