Transmission and reception channel selection for communicating between a transmitter unit and a receiver unit
First Claim
1. A transmitter unit for transmitting data in a data communication network, the data communication network including a receiver unit for receiving data from said transmitter unit and at least two data channels which data may be transmitted by said transmitter unit to said receiver unit, the transmitter unit comprising:
- a transmission channel selection unit, wherein said receiver unit selects a single reception channel from said at least two data channels independent from a selection of an initial transmission channel by said transmission channel selection unit, said transmission channel selection unit is arranged to select, prior to reception of any transmission from the receiver unit, the initial transmission channel from said at least two data channels to transmit data.

Abstract
A data communication network. The network includes a transmitter unit for transmitting data and a receiver unit for receiving data from the transmitter unit. The network has two or more data channels via which data may be transmitted by the transmitter unit to the receiver unit. The receiver unit includes a receiver channel selection unit for selecting a reception channel from the at least two data channels. The receiver channel selection unit operates independent from a selection of a transmission channel by a transmission channel selection unit in the transmitter unit. The transmission channel selection unit is arranged to select a transmission channel from the at least two data channels to transmit data to the receiver unit.
