METHOD OF TRANSMITTING, TO HETEROGENEOUS TERMINALS AND VIA A TDM/TDMA TYPE MULTIPLEXING INFRASTRUCTURE, LAYERED MULTIMEDIA CONTENTS, AND ASSOCIATED PROCESSING DEVICE AND DECODER

摘要

A transmission device (ET) is intended to be a component of a time multiplexing (RC) transmission infrastructure with at least one channel and in different transmission time slots, of multimedia contents, such multimedia contents being arranged in at least two complementary data layers. Said device (D) is responsible, in the presence of an association of a time slot to each complementary layer constituting a channel multimedia content, i) for separating the complementary layers of each multimedia content to be transmitted, ii) for chopping up the separated complementary layers into portions of selected sizes, and iii) for incorporating each portion of a layer into a burst so as to transmit each burst during a time slot associated to the layer comprising the portion it integrates.
