Abstract

The invention relates to a receiver and a reception method in a data transmission system wherein a signal to be transmitted can comprise information that is transmitted in a frame form by using several different transport formats, in which frames also information on the transport format used is transmitted by means of transport format indicators, and in which system the information to be transmitted is coded by a coding depth depending on the properties of the information to be transmitted, at least some of the coding depths being multiples of a given basic coding depth Tk. In order to express the transmission mode reliably when the signal is received which is known to contain information coded by using a coding depth of n*Tk, if it is detected that n−x frames have been received, where a positive integer x is lower than n, in which frames transport format indicators have been identified indicating that the frame comprises the information coded using the known coding depth n*Tk, and x frames wherein the transport format indicators do not indicate that the signal comprises the information coded using the known coding depth n*Tk, it is inferred that the x frames in question have…
