Abstract

The invention relates to a method that includes transfer of data encoded on the basis of a first encoding scheme via an interface between a baseband assembly and a radio-frequency assembly of a mobile radio transceiver. The method further includes transfer of a data sequence which is encoded on the basis of the first encoding scheme and which identifies a change of encoding scheme from the first encoding scheme to a second encoding scheme. Lastly, the method includes transfer of data encoded on the basis of the second encoding scheme via the interface.

Claims (48)

1. A method of transferring data, comprising:

transferring data encoded on the basis of a first encoding scheme via an interface between a baseband assembly and a radio-frequency assembly of a mobile radio transceiver;

transferring a data sequence which is encoded on the basis of the first encoding scheme and which identifies a change of encoding scheme from the first encoding scheme to a second encoding scheme via the interface; and

transferring data encoded on the basis of the second encoding scheme via the interface after transferring the data sequence,

wherein one of the first and second encoding schemes is a 4-bit encoding and the other of the first and second encoding schemes is an 8-bit encoding, and

wherein the three least significant bits of the 8-bit encoding indicate a modulation scheme and the remaining five bits of the 8-bit encoding comprise payload data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

data which is transferred from the baseband assembly to the radio-frequency assembly and is encoded on the basis of the first encoding scheme is modulated on the basis of a first modulation scheme; and

data which is transferred from the baseband assembly to the radio-frequency assembly and is encoded on the basis of the second encoding scheme is modulated on the basis of a second modulation scheme.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the transfer of the data sequence comprises a changeover between the two modulation schemes.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the radio-frequency assembly comprises a memory for accepting data, and the changeover between the two modulation schemes comprises customization of a mode of operation of the memory, the mode comprising a word length used by the memory.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data is transferred via the interface in serial, digital and packet-oriented form.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second encoding scheme comprises a data sequence that denotes a change of encoding scheme from the second encoding scheme to the first encoding scheme.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transferred data is transmitted data.

8. A mobile radio transceiver, comprising:

a baseband assembly;

a radio-frequency assembly; and
