Abstract:
A process for transmitting data by radio pathway between a transmitter rig and a receiver rig, through a disturbing transmission medium, in which:the data to be transmitted are grouped into blocks (Bi), redundancy information is added to each block (Bi) to be transmitted, and the block (Bi) is split up into a determined number of bit packets (Pj) and, at the receiving end,an attempt is made to reconstruct the data block (Bi) from packets (Pj) received, by utilizing the redundancy information, a process in which: a quality is estimated in respect of the transmission of data by the radio pathway and a minimum number of packets (Pj) whereby it is possible to reconstruct each block (Bi) with the aid of the redundancy information is determined therefrom, a number of packets (Pj) of the block (Bi) which is at least equal to the minimum number is transmitted and, at the receiving end, the attempted reconstruction of the block (Bi) is performed by investigating a number of packets (Pj) corresponding to the minimum number.
