An access network for terminals of a digital telecommunications system includes base stations adapted for receiving radiofrequency signals emitted by the terminals, each terminal a physical layer processing module adapted to form a radiofrequency signal on the basis of binary data in accordance with a predefined physical layer protocol. Moreover, for at least one base station, termed the 'partial station', an inverse physical layer processing, making it possible to extract binary data from a radiofrequency signal, is distributed between the partial station and a processing server distinct from the partial station, an inverse physical layer processing module being made up of a first inverse processing module, integrated into the partial station, and a second inverse processing module, integrated into the processing server. The invention also relates to a method of digital telecommunications.

Access network for digital telecommunications system and method of digital telecommunications

A method for transmitting useful information between a transmitting terminal and a receiving terminal connected via a transmission channel. The transmitting terminal defines control information for the useful information, and searches in an association table, which is accessible from the transmitting terminal, for a frame-synchronization word associated with the control information. The transmitting terminal generates a frame of data from the useful information, and transmits, over the transmission channel, a data stream that includes the frame-synchronization word and the frame of data.
