Patent ID: 8510640

Claim:
A method for transmitting a digital signal between at least two transmitters and at least one receiver, implementing a concatenation of at least two codes, wherein the method comprises: encoding, in said transmitters, delivering at least two first code words; sending said at least two first code words; receiving, in at least one relay, at least two of said first code words, called intermediate code words; interleaving at least one part of bits of said intermediate code words delivering interleaved bits; encoding said interleaved bits, in said at least one relay, delivering at least one second code word taking account of said intermediate code words; and sending said at least one second code word by said at least one relay, so as to make it possible, in said at least one receiver, to carry out an iterative decoding taking account of said first code words and then a redundancy formed by said at least one second code word.
