Abstract:
An information transmission system, comprising a plurality of stations, said stations being arranged to exchange information signals by transmitting a plurality of time multiplexed signals over a plurality of channels having different carrier frequencies, wherein one of said stations comprises:means for encoding a first of said information signals with an error correction code, to form a first encoded sample,means for interleaving parts of said first encoded sample to form a first sequence of parts,a multiplexer for generating a succession of parcels, each parcel comprising a plurality of time slots, at least one of said time slots including a portion of said first sequence of parts, andfrequency dispersion means for distributing the information content of two successive ones of said parcels for simultaneous transmission as signals in time multiplexed slots of at least two of said channels respectively, said information content being transmitted once only; andanother of said stations comprises a receiver comprising:means for receiving and demultiplexing said signals in said time multiplexed slots of said at least two of said channels, andmeans for providing a replica of said first of said information signals based on the received signals,whereby, in said receiver, correction of burst errors affecting the content of one channel is simplified without need for redundant transmission.
