Abstract

A data transmission system includes a transmitter configured to transmit a data signal in the form of a data stream of data bursts in at least two transmission modes to a receiver, in the first mode a reference signal being transmitted by the transmitter in each data burst and being evaluated in the receiver, and in the second mode no reference signal being transmitted by the transmitter in each data burst. In the second mode, in place of the reference signal, additional redundancy data of the data signal are transmitted in each data burst.

Claims (11)

1. A data transmission system, comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a data signal to a receiver as a data stream of data bursts in either a first transmission mode or a second transmission mode, wherein the transmitter is configured to perform the following:

in the first transmission mode, a reference signal is transmitted by the transmitter in each data burst, the reference signal being evaluated in the receiver;

in the second transmission mode, transmission of the reference signal by the transmitter in each data burst is avoided, and instead transmission of additional redundancy data of the data signal in each data burst is provided; and

a selection between the first transmission mode and the second transmission mode is made dependent on whether interference elimination is performed at the receiver or at the transmitter.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the additional redundancy data are provided by data of the data signal that are transmitted in repetition.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to perform the following:

in the second transmission mode, eliminating interference in the transmitter.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit a plurality of data streams simultaneously according to a CDMA technique.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the data bursts have at least two data blocks, between which a block is arranged which is used, in the first transmission mode, for the reference signal, and which is used, in the second transmission mode, for the additional redundancy data.

6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to select a data format for the data signal to be transmitted in both the first transmission mode and the second transmission mode so as to be identical.
