Abstract

A method and a communication system are in which a first synchronization message identifying a data transmission method with the highest-level error protection that a first device is capable of executing is transmitted from said first device to a second device. In the second device, the data transmission method is detected from the first synchronization message. In case the detected data transmission method is supported by the second device, a second synchronization message is sent to the first device identifying the detected data transmission method.In the first device, the data transmission method is detected from the second synchronization message, and in case the detected data transmission method can be executed by the first device, the devices are synchronized with the data transmission method.
