METHOD FOR MAKING DATA TRANSMISSION MORE EFFECTIVE AND A DATA TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL

摘要

The invention relates to a method for making data transmission more effectivein a telecommunication network,which comprises layer structured protocol means for data transmission whichprotocol means comprise at least an upper layer anda lower layer, wherein the purpose of the lower layer (12) is at least tocompose a data unit (6) to be transmitted to the upper layer(14) from one or more segments (9a, 9b), in which method one or more errors(5a) occurring in the received segments (1a, 1b) aredetected. In the invention, said data unit (6) to be transmitted to the upperlayer is composed from one or more segments (9a, 9b)containing one or more errors (5a), wherein information on the location of oneor more errors (Sa) is also transmitted to the upperlayer (14).
