Abstract

A subscriber in a communication system is configured to transmit data to a base station of the communication system. The subscriber is configured to take a quality criterion of at least one previous transmission between the subscriber and the base station as a basis for transmitting the data in a first frequency range or in a second frequency range being different from each other, and/or in a first time interval or in a second time interval being different from each other. A base station, a method for receiving data and a computer program product are also provided.

Claims (33)

1 . A wireless communication system having a multiplicity of subscribers, wherein the improvement comprises:

a subscriber configured to send data to a base station in the communication system;

the subscriber configured to take a demanded quality of service of the data to be transmitted as a basis for transmitting the data in at least one of:

a first frequency range or a second frequency range, the first frequency range and the second frequency range being different, or

a first time interval or a second time interval, the first time interval and the second time interval being different; and

the demanded quality of service being selected from at least one of:

a demanded latency, or

a demanded reaction time, or

a demanded maximum blocking rate.

2 . A wireless communication system having a multiplicity of subscribers, wherein the improvement comprises:

a base station configured to receive data from a subscriber in the communication system;

the data having a demanded quality of service being taken as a basis for transmitting the data in at least one of:

a first frequency range or a second frequency range, the first frequency range and the second frequency range being different, or

a first time interval or a second time interval, the first time interval and the second time interval being different; and

the demanded quality of service being selected from at least one of:

a demanded latency, or

a demanded reaction time, or

a demanded maximum blocking rate.

3 . The wireless communication system according to claim 2 , wherein:

the data are transmitted in at least one of the first frequency range or the first time interval when the demanded quality of service is in a first quality of service range or is greater than or equal to a quality of service threshold; and

the data are transmitted in at least one of the second frequency range or the second time interval when the demanded quality of service is in a second quality of service range or is less than the quality of service threshold.

4 . The wireless communication system according to claim 2 , wherein:

the data transmitted in at least one of the first frequency range or first time interval are provided with a first code rate;

the data transmitted in at least one of the second frequency range or second time interval are provided with a second code rate; and

the first code rate is greater than the second code rate.

5 . The wireless communication system according to claim 2 , wherein:

the data are transmitted in at least one of the first frequency range or first time interval in accordance with a first hopping pattern′

the data are transmitted in at least one of the second frequency range or second time interval in accordance with a second hopping pattern; and

the first hopping pattern and the second hopping pattern are different.

6 . The wireless communication system according to claim 3 , wherein:

the first hopping pattern is selected from a first group of hopping patterns associated with at least one of the first frequency range or first time interval;

the second hopping pattern is selected from a second group of hopping patterns associated with at least one of the second frequency range or second time interval; and

the first group of hopping patterns and the second group of hopping patterns are different.
