Claim 82:
83. A communication apparatus, comprising:
a data receiver comprising one or more processors or electronic circuits, the data receiver configured to receive, using a first hopping pattern, data of a first class transferred divided onto a first plurality of sub-data packets, wherein the data receiver is configured to receive, using a second hopping pattern, data of a second class transferred divided onto a second plurality of sub-data packets;
wherein transmission pauses between sub-data packets received according to the first hopping pattern are smaller than transmission pauses between sub-data packets received 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 of the first class is channel-encoded, wherein the channel-encoded data of the first class is distributed 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 transferred temporally before the second group of sub-data packet;
wherein the data receiver is configured to decode a first part of the channel-encoded data received with the first group of sub-data packets in order to acquire the data of the first class, and, if decoding the data of the first class has not been successful, to combine, for achieving a higher coding gain, at least a second part of the channel-encoded data received with at least a second group of sub-data packets with the first part of the channel-encoded data and to decode the first part of the channel-encoded data and the at least second part of the channel-encoded data in order to acquire the data of the first class.
