Data Transfer Between Several Transmitters and One Receiver

Abstract

The present is a description of a method for transferring data between at least two transmitters and one receiver having repeatedly transferring first identical data from a first one of the transmitters to the receiver in a first sequence and repeatedly transferring second identical data from a second one of the transmitters to the receiver in a second sequence. The number of repetitions in the first sequence and the number of repetitions in the second sequence are equal to or greater than the number of transmitters, and the first and second sequences are different to each other. In this way a data transfer can be realized with less expenditure.

Claims

1. A method for transferring data between at least two transmitters and one receiver, including: a) repeatedly transferring first identical data from a first one of the transmitters to the receiver in a first sequence; andb) repeatedly transferring second identical data from a second one of the transmitters to the receiver in a second sequence,wherein a number of repetitions in the first sequence and a number of repetitions in the second sequence are equal to or greater than the number of transmitters and the first and second sequences are different to each other.

2. The method according to claim 1, further including: repeating step a) and/or b) for further data so that a total data amount is transferred from the first and/or the second transmitter to the receiver.

3. The method according to claim 1, further including: repeating step a) for further data with a first repeat period; andrepeating step b) for further data with a second repeat period,wherein the first repeat period equals the second repeat period.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the number of repetitions in the first and second sequences are equal.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein a period between successive repetitions in the first sequence equals a first period for all successive repetitions, and a period between successive repetitions in the second sequence equals a second period for all successive repetitions, wherein the first and second periods are different to each other.

6. A device for transferring data to a receiver, including: a first transmitter implemented to transfer first identical data to the receiver in a first sequence; anda second transmitter implemented to transfer second identical data to the receiver in a second sequence,wherein a number of repetitions in the first sequence and a number of repetitions in the second sequence are equal to or greater than the number of transmitters and the first and second sequences are different to each other.

7. The device according to claim 6, wherein the first transmitter is implemented to repeat transferring the first identical data for further data and/or the second transmitter is implemented to repeat transferring second identical data for further data in order to transfer a total data amount of from the first and/or the second transmitter to the receiver.

8. The device according to claim 6, wherein the first transmitter is implemented to repeat the transfer for further data with a first repeat period and the second transmitter is implemented to repeat the data transfer for further data with a second repeat period such that the first repeat period equals the second repeat period.

9. The device according to claim 6, wherein the first and second transmitters are implemented such that the number of repetitions in the first and second sequences are equal.

10. The device according to claim 6, wherein the first and second transmitters are implemented such that a period between successive repetitions in the first sequence equals a first period for all successive repetitions, and a period between successive repetitions and the second sequence equals a second period for all successive repetitions, wherein the first and second periods are different to each other.

11. A computer program with a program code for performing the method for transferring data between at least two transmitters and one receiver, when the computer program runs on a computer, the method including a) repeatedly transferring first identical data from a first one of the transmitters to the receiver in a first sequence; and b) repeatedly transferring second identical data from a second one of the transmitters to the receiver in a second sequence, wherein a number of repetitions in the first sequence and a number of repetitions in the second sequence are equal to or greater than the number of transmitters and the first and second sequences are different to each other.
