Claim Text:
1. A method in a GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) network, the method comprising: determining a Temporary Flow Identity (TFI) comprising a first number of bits, wherein the TFI addresses a Temporary Block Flow (TBF) of a Radio Link Control/Medium Access Control (RLC/MAC) data block or a Piggy-backed Ack/Nack (PAN) using a first generator polynomial; addressing the TBF of said RLC/MAC data block or said PAN using a TFI having an increased number of bits compared to said first number of bits; and using a second generator polynomial different from the first generator polynomial, for addressing the TBF of said RLC/MAC data block or said PAN.
