Abstract
A method is proposed for transmitting at least two data contents by means of a source node to a destination node via at least two transmission paths. The method for transmitting includes steps of: sub-dividing each content into a succession of elementary data groups according to a predetermined pattern of repetition comprising at least two types of different elementary groups; transmitting elementary groups on at least one of the paths, according to a predefined alternation of elementary groups resulting from the sub-division of at least two different contents.
Claims17
A method for transmitting at least two data contents by means of a source node to a destination node via at least two transmission paths, said method for transmitting comprising steps of:
- sub-dividing each content into a succession of elementary data groups according to a predetermined pattern of repetition comprising at least two types of different elementary groups,
- transmitting elementary groups on at least one of said paths, according to a predefined alternation of elementary groups resulting from the sub-division of at least two different contents.
A method for receiving, by means of a destination node, at least two data contents transmitted by a source node via at least two transmission paths, comprising steps of:
- receiving elementary groups of data via at least one of said transmission paths, according to a predefined alternation of elementary groups resulting from the sub-division of at least two different contents;
- recomposing each content as a function of the received elementary groups and as a function of a known predetermined pattern of repetition comprising at least two types of different elementary groups, said pattern of repetition having been used by the source node to sub-divide each content into a succession of elementary data groups.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage means storing a computer program comprising a set of instructions executable by a computer to implement a method for transmitting at least two data contents by means of a source node to a destination node via at least two transmission paths, said method for transmitting comprising steps of:
- sub-dividing each content into a succession of elementary data groups according to a predetermined pattern of repetition comprising at least two types of different elementary groups,
- transmitting elementary groups on at least one of said paths, according to a predefined alternation of elementary groups resulting from the sub-division of at least two different contents.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage means storing a computer program comprising a set of instructions executable by a computer to implement a method for receiving, by means of a destination node, at least two data contents transmitted by a source node via at least two transmission paths, said method for receiving comprising steps of:
- receiving elementary groups of data via at least one of said transmission paths, according to a predefined alternation of elementary groups resulting from the sub-division of at least two different contents;
- recomposing each content as a function of the received elementary groups and as a function of a known predetermined pattern of repetition comprising at least two types of different elementary groups, said pattern of repetition having been used by the source node to sub-divide each content into a succession of elementary data groups.
A source node for transmitting at least two data contents to a destination node via at least two transmission paths, said source node comprising:
- means for sub-dividing each content into a succession of elementary data groups according to a predetermined pattern of repetition comprising at least two types of different elementary groups,
- means for transmitting elementary groups via at least one of said paths, according to a predefined alternation of elementary groups resulting from the sub-division of at least two different contents.
A destination node for receiving at least two data contents transmitted by a source node via at least two transmission paths, said destination node comprising:
- means for receiving elementary groups via at least one of said transmission paths, according to a predefined alternation of elementary groups resulting from the sub-division of at least two different contents;
- means for recomposing each content as a function of received elementary groups and as a function of a known predetermined pattern of repetition comprising at least two types of different elementary groups, said pattern of repetition having been used by the source node to sub-divide each content into a succession of elementary data groups.
