MULTIPOINT TRANSMISSION METHOD AND MULTIPOINT TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM USING NETWORK CODING

摘要

The disclosure relates to a multipoint transmission method and system. The multipoint transmission system delivers a plurality of data packets at a user device. The systern comprises means for obtaining at least one network coded data packet corresponding to a linear combination of two or more data packets of the plurality of data packets, a first transmitter configured for transmitting one or more data packets of the plurality of data packets onto a first wireless transmission path and at least one second transmitter configured for transmitting the at least one network coded data packet for transmission onto at least one second wireless transmission path. The transmission is such that one or more data packets transmitted onto the first wireless transmission path and the at least one network coded data packet transmitted onto the at least one second wireless transmission path together enable delivery of the plurality of the data packets at the user device.
