Abstract: Mobile radio systems are known in which base stations receive radio signals from a mobile station in parallel over different radio paths and forward the user data contained in the radio signals as data blocks (TB1 to TBn) to a central station. Transmission is in the form of data frames (see Fig. 1b). In the receiver of the central station, erroneous data blocks are replaced with data blocks received correctly over another radio path. An erroneous data block (TB1) is detected by means of an entry in an associated check field (CID1). To speed up the reading of the check fields (CID1 to CIDn) and the access to the data blocks (TB1 to TBn), a newly structured data frame (see F in Fig. 1b) is proposed. The data blocks (TB1 to TBn) are arranged immediately side by side, with each data block containing a number of bits divisible by 8, and all check fields (CID1 to CIDn) are written into a check block (CB) provided for this purpose. This specific byte-oriented structure permits very fast access to individual data blocks. Also disclosed are a novel method of transmitting the data blocks (TB1 to TBn) as well as a mobile radio system, a central station, and a base station for carrying out the method.
