Data transmission arrangement comprising: means for determining useful data provided by a sensor element connected to the data transmission arrangement; means for channel coding the useful data so as to obtain channel-coded data; means for splitting up the channel-coded data into a plurality of data packets having a code rate smaller than one; and means for transmitting data packets which is configured to transmit the plurality of data packets via a communication channel with a time lag, so that there are non-transmission periods in between the data packets during which no transmission is performed; the means for splitting up the channel-coded data being configured to provide at least two data packets of the plurality of data packets with a pilot sequence in each case for synchronizing the data packets in a data receiver, the means for splitting up the channel-coded data into a plurality of data packets being configured to vary an arrangement of the pilot sequences in the at least two data packets such that one data packet of the at least two data packets comprises an arrangement of the pilot sequence which deviates from the arrangement of the pilot sequence of another data packet of the at least two data packets; characterized in that the means for splitting up the channel-coded data is configured to provide a first data packet of the at least two data packets with a pilot sequence arranged between the data contained within the data packet; and the means for splitting up the channel-coded data is configured to provide a second data packet of the at least two data packets with a two-part pilot sequence (162a, 162b), a first part of the pilot sequence being arranged before the data contained within the data packet and a second part of the pilot sequence being arranged after the data contained within the data packet. means for determining useful data provided by a sensor element connected to the data transmission arrangement; means for channel coding the useful data so as to obtain channel-coded data; means for splitting up the channel-coded data into a plurality of data packets having a code rate smaller than one; and means for transmitting data packets which is configured to transmit the plurality of data packets via a communication channel with a time lag, so that there are non-transmission periods in between the data packets during which no transmission is performed; the means for splitting up the channel-coded data being configured to provide at least two data packets of the plurality of data packets with a pilot sequence in each case for synchronizing the data packets in a data receiver, the means for splitting up the channel-coded data into a plurality of data packets being configured to vary an arrangement of the pilot sequences in the at least two data packets such that one data packet of the at least two data packets comprises an arrangement of the pilot sequence which deviates from the arrangement of the pilot sequence of another data packet of the at least two data packets; characterized in that the means for splitting up the channel-coded data is configured to provide a first data packet of the at least two data packets with a pilot sequence arranged between the data contained within the data packet; and the means for splitting up the channel-coded data is configured to provide a second data packet of the at least two data packets with a two-part pilot sequence (162a, 162b), a first part of the pilot sequence being arranged before the data contained within the data packet and a second part of the pilot sequence being arranged after the data contained within the data packet.
