High-speed data transmission in mobile communication networks
First Claim
1. A method for high-speed data transmission in a digital mobile communication system in which methoddata is transmitted over the radio path between a mobile station and a fixed mobile communication network in a traffic channel allocated to the mobile station, the method comprising:
- allocating a high-speed data signal at least two parallel traffic channels having mutually different channel numbers assigned for the duration of a connection, when a data transmission rate required by the data signal exceeds a maximum transmission rate of one traffic channel;
inserting the data from the high-speed data signal into frames at the transmission end, each frame being provided with a channel number indicating the parallel traffic channel used for the transmission;
dividing the frames into parallel traffic channels in a sequential order according to channel numbering and transmitting them to the reception end; and
reassembling the data in the frames into a high-speed data signal in the sequential order indicated by the channel numbers in the frames at the reception end.

Abstract
In a mobile communication system, two or more parallel traffic channels are allocated for high-speed data transmission over the radio path. Different channel numbers are assigned to these parallel traffic channels for the duration of the connection. The data of a high-speed data signal is inserted at the distribution point of the transmission end into frames each of which is provided with a channel number indicating the parallel traffic channel used for the transmission. The frames transmitted in a traffic channel always contain the same channel number during the whole call. The frames are divided into parallel traffic channel in the sequential order according to the channel numbering. At the reception end the data contained in the frames is reassembled into a high-speed data signal in the sequential order according to the channel numbers in the frames. Frame numbering may be used within each of the traffic channels so that at least two successive frames always have a different frame number. Consequently, the allowed delay offset between the traffic channels will increase with the number of the frame numbers, and the order of the frames will be maintained under any circumstances.

7. A digital mobile communication system in which a mobile station and a fixed mobile communication network each comprise a data transmitter and a data receiver having a capability for a data transmission over the radio path on the traffic channel allocated to the mobile station, wherein:
-
the fixed mobile communication network is arranged to allocate to a high-speed data signal two or more parallel traffic channels having mutually different channel numbers during the connection, when the transmission rate required by the data signal is higher than the maximum transmission date of one traffic channel; the data transmitters are arranged to insert the data from the high-speed data signal into frames, each frame being provided with a channel number indicating the parallel traffic channel used for the transmission, and to divide the frames into the parallel traffic channels in the sequential order according to channel numbering; and the data receivers are arranged to reassemble the data in the frames into a high-speed data signal in the sequential order indicated by the channel numbers in the frames. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
