Abstract:
1. A method of transporting a set of data objects over a network for reception by a receiver, comprising: obtaining the set of data objects at a server; separating each data object into one or more data packets; providing the one or more data packets for each object to a transmitter; providing receiver control data to the transmitter, the receiver control data including a value for a listener interval corresponding to a data object of the set of data objects; operating the transmitter to cause transmission of the receiver control data over the network for reception by the receiver; and operating the transmitter to cause transmission of the data packets over the network for reception by the receiver, wherein the transmitter is operated such that if the receiver is powered at a reduced level or off for a time period less than the listener interval, then the receiver is able to receive a set of the one or more data packets such that each data object can be reassembled from the received set of the one or more data packets, wherein the value for the listener interval is determined based on a desired acquisition time of the corresponding data object such that, for at least two data objects of the set of data objects, different values are determined for each corresponding listener interval.
