Method and device for transmission of data in a flexible frame structure

摘要

In a transmission system a transmitter (2) comprises a frame assembler (8) for assembling frames with a header and a payload portion. The header (22-1) comprises an identifier for (22-6) indicating the begin of a new packet in the frame. Such packets comprise a header (44) indicating the length of the packet. By using the position of the begin of a packet derived from the identifier and the length of the packets, it is possible to determine the begin of all packets in a sequence of packets, irrespective of the type or length of the packet. This allows a flexible framing structure being very efficient.
