Method for robustly transmitting digitized signal samples in an rf communication system

A method for transmitting data in a radiofrequency (RF) communication system, comprising:

• at least one piece of equipment, referred to as the BBU, comprising a memory, this piece of equipment being configured to generate in-phase and quadrature digital samples, referred to as I/Q samples, from data to be sent, and to extract a payload from I/Q samples,
• a plurality of pieces of equipment, referred to as RRH, comprising a memory, these pieces of equipment being configured to generate and transmit an RF analogue signal on the basis of I/Q samples, and to generate I/Q samples from a received RF analogue signal,
• digital communication links for transmitting IQ samples between the one or more BBU and the RRH,
• each BBU being configured to transmit data in the telecommunication network through one of the RRH and to receive data of the telecommunication network from one of the RRH, the transmitting method being wherein the one or more BBU and the RRH are configured to exchange I/Q samples organized in the form of packets of I/Q samples marked by a sequence identifier, and to implement a mechanism for acknowledgement of the packets of I/Q samples that they exchange, and in that the RRH that is the intended recipient of the packets of I/Q samples sent by each BBU is modified depending on the state of the acknowledgements of the packets of I/Q samples.
