Abstract

A method for transmitting data includes using a plurality of time slots of a physical channel for transmission of the data, the plurality of time slots being grouped into at least a first time slot group and a second time slot group, transmitting data items of the data being associated with a first priority using time slots of the first time slot group, and transmitting data items of the data being associated with a second priority using time slots of the second time slot group.

Claims (28)

1. A method for transmitting data comprising:

using a plurality of multi-frames, each multi-frame comprising a plurality of time slots of a physical channel for transmission of the data, the plurality of time slots being grouped into at least a first time slot group and a second time slot group, wherein in each timeslot a frequency range available for data transmission is divided into the same number of sub carriers arranged around a central frequency and used for transmission of the data;

transmitting data items of the data being associated with a first priority using time slots of the first time slot group; and

transmitting data items of the data being associated with a second priority using time slots of the second time slot group,

wherein the time slots are arranged in such a way that the data items associated with the first priority are all transmitted before transmitting a first data item associated with the second priority,

wherein the data is system information broadcast in the radio cell,

wherein the data items associated with the first priority correspond to parameters for which parameter values are transmitted in each radio cell of a plurality of radio cells of a cellular communication network,

wherein the data items associated with the second priority correspond to parameters for which parameter values are not necessarily transmitted in each radio cell of a plurality of radio cells of a cellular communication network, and

wherein the plurality of time slots is a plurality of time slots reserved for the transmission of the data.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the data items are sent in a radio cell of a cellular communication network.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the data is transmitted using OFDM resources, and the method further comprises reserving in the first time slot group and the second time slot group OFDM resources for the transmission of the data.

4. A transmitter configured to use a plurality of multi-frames, each multi-frame comprising a plurality of time slots of a physical channel for transmission of data, the plurality of time slots being grouped into at least a first time slot group and a second time slot group, wherein in each timeslot a frequency range available for data transmission is divided into the same number of sub carriers arranged around a central frequency and used for transmission of the data, configured to transmit data items of the data being associated with a first priority using time slots of a first time slot group, and configured to transmit data items of the data being associated with a second priority using time slots of a second time slot group, wherein the time slots are arranged in such a way that the data items associated with the first priority are all transmitted before transmitting a first data item associated with the second priority,

wherein the data is system information broadcast in the radio cell,

wherein the data items associated with the first priority correspond to parameters for which parameter values are transmitted in each radio cell of a plurality of radio cells of a cellular communication network,

wherein the data items associated with the second priority correspond to parameters for which parameter values are not necessarily transmitted in each radio cell of a plurality of radio cells of a cellular communication network, and

wherein the plurality of time slots is a plurality of time slots reserved for the transmission of the data.

5. The transmitter according to claim 4 , wherein the data items are sent in a radio cell of a cellular communication network.

6. The transmitter according to claim 4 , wherein the data are transmitted using OFDM resources, and the method further comprises reserving in the first time slot group and the second time slot group OFDM resources for the transmission of the data.

7. The transmitter according to claim 4 , being part of a base station of a cellular communication network.

8. A receiver comprising:

a determining circuit configured to determine which time slot group of at least two time slot groups into which a plurality of time slots are grouped is used for transmitting data items of the data associated with a priority, wherein the time slots are part of a plurality of multi-frames and in each timeslot a frequency range available for data transmission is divided into the same number of sub carriers arranged around a central frequency and used for transmission of the data; and

a receiving circuit configured to receive the data items associated with the priority during the time slots of the time slot group determined,

wherein the determining circuit is further configured to determine which other time slot group of the at least two time slot groups into which the plurality of time slots are grouped is used for transmitting data items of the data associated with another priority, and the receiving circuit is further configured to receive the data items associated with the other priority during the time slots of the other time slot group,

wherein the data is system information broadcast in the radio cell,

wherein the data items associated with the first priority correspond to parameters for which parameter values are transmitted in each radio cell of a plurality of radio cells of a cellular communication network,

wherein the data items associated with the second priority correspond to parameters for which parameter values are not necessarily transmitted in each radio cell of a plurality of radio cells of a cellular communication network,

wherein the plurality of time slots is a plurality of time slots reserved for the transmission of the data, and

wherein the data is transmitted using OFDM resources.
