<p>A networking system and methods are disclosed that combine various subnets to improve the throughput and efficiency of various data transmission schemes such as automatic repeat request (ARQ) and layered source coding schemes. The networking system includes a network architecture that integrates the various subnets into an overlaid backbone network which can connect different data devices. The throughput and efficiency improvements are achieved by always using the most reliable subnet, i.e., transmission medium, available for paramount channels in the data transmission schemes, e.g., ARQ feedback channel or base layer channel.</p> |
