Abstract:
1. A method for digital content transmission, comprising: (a) partitioning said digital content into a plurality of sequential segments; (b) selecting a plurality of transmission time instants for each of said sequential segments as a function of an order of said plurality of sequential segments; (c) generating a plurality of linear combinations of said plurality of sequential segments during said plurality of transmission time instants resulting in a plurality of linearly combined coded segments; (d) performing error correction based on an implicit error correction (IEC) method wherein said IEC method performs error correction without extra bandwidth cost by using the redundancy present in said linearly combined coded segments to provide intrinsic error correction at said client side; and (e) transmitting said plurality of linearly combined coded segments from a server to a plurality of clients.
