Abstract: In order to improve the performance of physical channels in telecommunications systems using wire-free telecommunication between mobile and/or stationary transmitting/receiving appliances as a function of; the channel data transmission rate, the system environment, the system utilization and the distance between the transmitting/receiving appliances, such that no circuitry changes are required to the transmitters and/or receivers in the transmitting/receiving appliances, an air interface is proposed, in which the number of NPILOT bits, NTPC bits and NTFCI bits are each variable, and in which, in particular during an active or passive telecommunications link between the mobile and/or stationary transmitting/receiving appliances in the telecommunications system, the number of NPILOT bits, NTPC bits and NTFCI bits can each be varied and/or optimized adaptively by control means, such as by suitable “layer 2” or “layer 3” signaling (“layer 2/3” signaling) which takes place, for

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for routing data (d) in a mobile communications network with non-stationary relay stations (MS2), according to which data (d) is transmitted from a first station (MS1) to a target station (MS3) via a route (V12-V23), and, in the case that is not possible to conduct a direct transmission from the first station (MS1) to the target station (MS3), the data is received and relayed by the relay station (MS2) during the transmission on the route. The determination of the route (V12-V23) should preferably be carried out or updated in the first station (MS1) and/or in relay stations (MS2). The determination of the route (V12-V23) can be carried out, in particular, by using cards with routes, population information and/or topographical information. The determination of the route (V12-V23) can also or alternatively be carried out by using search programs for, in particular, statistically and/or iteratively ascertaining an optimized route.

Abstract: A method of operating a high speed, error-free data transmission system in a noisy medium includes compressing data determined to be compressible, forward error correcting the data and interleaving the data in a bit matrix memory to enhance the forward error correction. Digital information packets are formulated including a header bearing a packet number, the total packet byte count, any packet number resend request, the data byte count of the actual data and a CRC. The digital information packet is loaded onto a transmitter carousel having a fixed number of sectors. The receiver receives the data, requests resend of any packet (by number) that is defective, error corrects if necessary and sequentially loads the packet onto a receiver carousel. Packets or sequential packet groups are removed from the carousel, selectively decompressed and the data words extracted and sent to the output.
