A system for transferring content, from a server of content arranged in a base layer of data and at least one enhancement layer of data, to at least one mobile communication terminal comprising an application using content and capable of connecting to a radio communication network comprising a radio access network having a non-uniform radio coverage area comprising at least two optimal transfer zones (ZT1 and ZT2), the system comprising: i) a first device arranged to receive the content delivered by said server, to temporarily store the data from each enhancement layer of each piece of content received, and to supply said radio access network firstly with the data from the base layer of a received piece of content so that it can transmit that data to said terminal in broadcast or multicast mode within its coverage area, and secondly with data from at least one of the enhancement layers of that received piece of content so that it can transmit that data to said terminal in broadcast or multicast mode and/or in point-to-point mode by a discontinuous transfer mechanism, offering within each optimal transfer area (ZTi) a transfer rate greater than the rate needed by said application, and if that terminal is located in one of its optimal transfer areas (ZTi), and ii) at least one second device installed in said terminal and arranged to temporarily store the received data from the base and enhancement layers, so as to reconstitute each piece of content that they constitute, and to communicate each reconstituted piece of content to said application; said system being characterized in that said terminal is arranged to receive only data from the base layer, when said terminal is located between two of said optimal transfer areas, and that said second device is arranged to use the data from the enhancement layers that temporally correspond to said received data from the base layer, when said terminal is located between two of said optimal transfer areas. i) a first device arranged to receive the content delivered by said server, to temporarily store the data from each enhancement layer of each piece of content received, and to supply said radio access network firstly with the data from the base layer of a received piece of content so that it can transmit that data to said terminal in broadcast or multicast mode within its coverage area, and secondly with data from at least one of the enhancement layers of that received piece of content so that it can transmit that data to said terminal in broadcast or multicast mode and/or in point-to-point mode by a discontinuous transfer mechanism, offering within each optimal transfer area (ZTi) a transfer rate greater than the rate needed by said application, and if that terminal is located in one of its optimal transfer areas (ZTi), and ii) at least one second device installed in said terminal and arranged to temporarily store the received data from the base and enhancement layers, so as to reconstitute each piece of content that they constitute, and to communicate each reconstituted piece of content to said application; said system being characterized in that said terminal is arranged to receive only data from the base layer, when said terminal is located between two of said optimal transfer areas, and that said second device is arranged to use the data from the enhancement layers that temporally correspond to said received data from the base layer, when said terminal is located between two of said optimal transfer areas.
