Abstract:
A method for indicating processing methods selected from available mutually optional processing methods used in the processing of data to be transmitted by a transmitting device in a telecommunications system where the data to be transmitted is arranged in frames (100), comprising a phase wherethe transmitting device includes in the frame to be transmitted a number of control bits (101), the value of said bits indicating a data processing method used to process the transmittable data contained by the frame prior to transmission, characterized in that it also comprises phases where there is formed (302) information of how many available mutually optional processing methods there are for processing the data to be transmitted, there is defined (302) the number of control bits in the frame so that the number of selected data processing methods to be indicated by allowed values of the control bits is at least as high as the number of available mutually optional processing methods, and there is included (307) the defined number of control bits in the frame to be transmitted.
