Digital data transmission network and method for operating same
First Claim
1. A method for operating a digital data transmission network containing a control unit connected to at least one user unit, said user unit having a plurality of channels, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) in an initial part of a transmission event between said control unit and said at least one user unit, communicating a first data block containing data and a second data block containing data from said control unit to said at least one user unit;
(b) in said control unit, prescribing a first transmission parameter in said first data block identifying a first reference number of bit places indicating a number of bit places provided for subsequent data transmission of the data contained in said first block from said at least one user unit in a first of said channels;
(c) in said control unit, prescribing a second transmission parameter in said second data block identifying a second reference number of bit places indicating a number of bit places provided for subsequent data transmission of the data contained in said second block from said at least one user unit in a second of said channels;
(d) communicating said first data block and said second data block from said control unit to said at least one user unit and storing said first reference number and said second reference number in said at least one user unit; and
(e) following an end of said transmission event, employing the number of bit places indicated by said first reference number for said data transmission in said first channel and employing the number of bit places indicated by said second reference number for said data transmission in said second channel.

Abstract
In a method for operating a digital data transmission network, and in a digital data transmission network operating according to the method, in an initial part of a transmission event between a control unit and at least one user unit in the network, a first data block containing data and a second data block containing data are transmitted from the control unit to the user unit. In the control unit, a first reference number is prescribed as a first transmission parameter in the first data block, which identifies a number of bit places provided for subsequent data transmission of the data contained in the first block from the user unit in a first useful channel. The control unit also prescribes a second reference number as a second transmission parameter in the second data block, identifying a number of bit places for subsequent data transmission of the data contained in the second block from the user unit in a second useful channel. The first and second data blocks are transmitted from the control unit to the useful unit and the first and second reference numbers are stored in the user unit. Following an end of the transmission event, the user unit employs the number of bit places indicated by the first reference number for data transmission of the data contained in the first data block in the first useful channel, and employs the number of bit places indicated by the second reference number for data transmission in the second useful channel of the data contained in the second data block.

12. A digital data transmission network comprising:
-
a control unit connected to at least one user unit, said user unit having a plurality of channels; means in said control unit for, in an initial part of a transmission event between said control unit and said at least one user unit, communicating a first data block containing data and a second data block containing data from said control unit to said at least one user unit; means in said control unit, for prescribing a first transmission parameter in said first data block identifying a first reference number of bit places indicating a number of bit places provided for data transmission of the data contained in said first data block from said at least one user unit in a first of said channels; means in said control unit for prescribing a second transmission parameter in said second data block identifying a second reference number of bit places indicating a number of bit places provided for data transmission of the data contained in said second data block from said at least one user unit in a second of said channels; means for, after said first data block and said second data block are communicated from said control unit to said at least one user unit and storing said first reference number and said second reference number in said at least one user unit; and means in said at least one user unit for, following an end of said transmission event, employing the number of bit places indicated by said first reference number for data transmission in said first channel and employing the number of bit places indicated by said second reference number for data transmission in said second channel. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
