1. A method for transmitting a binary data stream having a predetermined initial rate D, comprising, sequentially:
in a first preliminary step, in splitting the binary data stream into m different bit streams at a rate which is m times lower than the initial rate D, where m is an integer greater than 1, the m bit streams containing different information bit sequences, in a second step, in implementing a first individual error-correcting encoding of each of the m bit streams, the first individual error-correcting encoding of each bit stream comprising successively a first encoding, followed by an interleaving, followed by a second encoding, in a third step, in time-interleaving the m encoded bit streams with one another in order to mix the information bits originating from different encoded bit streams, and in implementing an error-correcting encoding of the m interleaved bit streams into p different interleaved and encoded bit streams, where p is an integer greater than or equal to m, in a fourth step, in modulating each of the p interleaved and encoded bit streams by means of p optical carriers with different wavelengths in order to obtain p different optical signals, and in a fifth step, in wavelength-division-multiplexing the p optical signals in order to obtain a multiplexed optical signal suitable for being transmitted in a sixth step on an optical link. |
