IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

The communication system has at least one transmitter and at least one receiver arranged to communicate with one another over a communications channel so as to transmit information from the transmitter to receiver. The communications channel consists of two or more carriers (30 to 34). The transmitter is arranged to divide information to be transmitted on the channels (30 to 34) into packets of information and to transmit different packets of information on at least two carriers, for example carrier (31, 33 and 34). Thereby, increasing the information transfer rate of the channel. Each carrier (30 to 34) can comprise sub-carriers (35 and 36) so as to further increase the information transfer rate. Furthermore, each carrier can have more than time slot and the transmitter can select any combination available of carriers (30 to 34) or time slots of a carrier (30 to 34) aid high speed information transfer.
