Claim 81:
82. A communication apparatus, comprising:
a data transmitter comprising one or more processors or electronic circuits, wherein the data transmitter is configured to divide data of a first class onto a first plurality of sub-data packets and to transmit the first plurality of sub-data packets using a first hopping pattern, wherein the data transmitter is configured to divide data of a second class onto a second plurality of sub-data packets and to transmit the second plurality of sub-data packets using a second hopping pattern,
wherein transmission pauses between sub-data packets transmitted according to the first hopping pattern are smaller than transmission pauses between sub-data packets transmitted according to the second hopping pattern, and/or wherein sub-data packets transmitted according to the first hopping pattern are shorter than sub-data packets transmitted according to the second hopping pattern;
wherein the data transmitter is configured to channel-encode the data of the first class and transmit the channel-encoded data of the first class using the first hopping pattern, wherein the data transmitter is configured to distribute the channel-encoded data of the first class onto the first plurality of sub-data packets such that, in a faultless transfer, only a first group of sub-data packets is needed to successfully decode the data of the first class, and such that, in a faulty transfer, a higher coding gain is achieved through a combination of the first group of sub-data packets and a second group of sub-data packets, wherein the first group of sub-data packets is transmitted temporally before the second group of sub-data packets.
