Abstract

Abstract A method of transmitting data from a base transceiver station or base station to a transcoder. Prior to transmission to the base station, the data is organized in streams of frames (T1, T2, T3). The streams are assembled into groups (G1, G2, G3), and the transmission of the data to the base station starts at the start of a stream of frames (T1, T2, T3). The method includes the following operations: after activation of a channel of the base station for reception of the data frames, the first stream of frames (T1, T2, T3) received on the channel by the base station is associated with a reference number within the corresponding group of frames (G1, G2, G3); and transmission of data by the base station to the transcoder is then delayed by an amount (R 1/3 , R 2/3 ) depending on the reference number and the group of frames of the first stream of frames, whereby a continuous stream of data (A1, A2, A3) is transmitted by the base station to the transcoder.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 178 words
A method of transmitting data from a base station to a transcoder, said data being initially received by said base station and being organized in frames assembled in streams, (T1, T2, T3) each of said streams including at least one frame and being assembled in turn into groups (G1, G2, G3), the reception of said data by said base station starting at the start of a stream of frames (T1, T2, T3), wherein the method comprises the steps of: activating a channel of the base station for reception of said data frames; associating a first stream of frames (T1, T2, T3) received on said channel by said base station with a reference number indicating a rank of said first stream of frames (T1, T2, T3) within a corresponding group (G1, G2, G3); delaying the start of the transmission of data from said base station to said transcoder by an amount (R 1/3 , R 2/3 ), depending on the reference number; and transmitting a continuous stream of data (A1, A2, A3) from said base station to said transcoder.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 178 words
A method of transmitting data from a base station to a transcoder, said data being initially received by said base station and being organized in frames assembled in streams, (T1, T2, T3) each of said streams including at least one frame and being assembled in turn into groups (G1, G2, G3), the reception of said data by said base station starting at the start of a stream of frames (T1, T2, T3), wherein the method comprises the steps of: activating a channel of the base station for reception of said data frames; associating a first stream of frames (T1, T2, T3) received on said channel by said base station with a reference number indicating a rank of said first stream of frames (T1, T2, T3) within a corresponding group (G1, G2, G3); delaying the start of the transmission of data from said base station to said transcoder by an amount (R 1/3 , R 2/3 ), depending on the reference number; and transmitting a continuous stream of data (A1, A2, A3) from said base station to said transcoder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 89 words
The base station for implementing the method according to claim 1, comprising: receive means (21) for receiving data; means (22) for identifying said streams of frames from said data; and means (23) for delaying the transmission of data to said transcoder (TC) by a time-delay depending on the reference number corresponding to said first stream of frames (T1, T2, T3) identified from the data received after activation of the receive channel at said base station, wherein said base station is connected to the transcoder (TC) via digital interface means.
