Abstract:
1. A method of over-the-air transmission of driver software configured as a plurality of download data blocks (DDBs), the method comprising: transmitting a first transmission signal including the plurality of DDBs for transmitting the driver software, each DDB of the first transmission signal having a same first packet identifier value; and transmitting a second transmission signal that is a distinguishable transmission signal from the first transmission signal, the second transmission signal including a plurality of DDBs, each DDB of the second transmission signal having a same second packet identifier value, wherein each DDB of the second transmission signal corresponds to a respective DDB of the first transmission signal such that the second transmission signal also transmits the driver software, and wherein the transmission of the second transmission signal exhibits a temporal overlap with respect to the transmission of the first transmission signal such that a time delay occurs between a start of the transmission of the first transmission signal and a start of the transmission of the second transmission signal, wherein each of the DDBs of the first transmission signal is assigned a block number and each of the DDBs of the second transmission signal is assigned a block number that corresponds to the block number of the respective DDB of the first transmission signal, and every DDB of the first and second transmission signals may be identified at a receiver side according to packet identifier value and block number.
