Method and system for transmitting satellite signals and receiver thereof

A transmitter comprising:

• a splitter configured to receive a data stream;
• and
• wherein the splitter is configured to subdivide data packets of said data stream into a first and at least one second data pseudo-streams;
• a first and at least one second modulator configured to modulate, respectively, said first and said at least one second data pseudo-streams;
• a transmitter configured to transmit said modulated data pseudo-streams through respective transmission channels,
• wherein, in order to generate said data pseudo-streams, said splitter is configured to:
• select each data packet of said data stream;
• interrogate said modulators in a sequential manner in order to identify that modulator which, among said modulators, is available to accept said data packet, and send the latter to it;
• send a null data packet to the remaining modulators.

A method for receiving a satellite signal comprising a data stream that includes a sequence of data packets, said method comprising the steps of:

• receiving modulated data pseudo-streams through respective transmission channels;
• demodulating said first and said at least one second data pseudo-streams through a first and at least one second demodulators, respectively;
• merging said first and said at least one second data pseudo-streams, through means for merging, in order to reconstruct a data stream comprising packet sequences, wherein, in order to reconstruct said packet stream, said means for merging will:
• re-align said packet pseudo-streams on the basis of the value of a field of said data packet;
• select, for each data packet of said re-aligned pseudo-streams, the one that contains a non-null packet;
• insert said non-null packet into the reconstructed data stream.

A receiver for receiving a satellite signal that includes a data stream including a sequence of data packets, the receiver comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive modulated data pseudo-streams through respective transmission channels, wherein the modulated data pseudo-streams include a first and at least one second data pseudo-stream;
• a first and at least one second demodulator configured to demodulate, respectively, said first and said at least one second data pseudo-streams;
• a merger configured to merge said first and said at least one second data pseudo-streams in order to reconstruct the data stream that includes the sequence of data packets,
• wherein, in order to reconstruct said packet stream, said merger is configured to:
• re-align said packet pseudo-streams on a basis of a value of a field of said data packet;
• select, for each data packet of said re-aligned pseudo-streams, the one that contains a non-null packet;
• and
• insert said non-null packet into the reconstructed data stream.
