Abstract
In a method for transmitting data in a digital transmission system given packet-switched service, for purposes of channel coding, a turbo-coding is performed in a turbo-coder at the sender side and a turbo-decoding with soft decision output signals is performed in a turbo-decoder at the receiver side. To trigger an ARQ, the channel quality is estimated by a parameter estimation method; the variances of the soft decision output signals at the turbo-decoder are determined; the correctness or respectively, defectiveness of the transmitted packet is inferred from the channel quality and the variances; and a retransmission of at least a part of defective packet is triggered. In the retransmission of the information of a defective packet, at least part of the information suppressed by the dotting in the precious transmission is sent. This additional information is [. . .] inserted into the already existing information at the receiver side, and this complete information is decoded again.
