Abstract

See full text

A method of transmitting data packets over a transmission channel shared by transmitters on the basis of a first unit of transmission of fixed length subdivided into second units of transmission of fixed length, includes: associating, at a first transmitter, for each packet to be transmitted at least two packet replicas with respective second units within a current first unit; generating, at the first transmitter, the replicas, in each of which signaling information is included, the signaling information indicating relative positions of the other replicas of the same packet within the current first unit with respect to the given replica; setting, at the first transmitter, a start timing for beginning transmission of the current first unit independently of the other transmitters of the transmitters sharing the transmission channel; and transmitting the replicas at respective timings in accordance with their association with the respective second units within the current first unit.
