A data transmission method in which blocks of data to be transmitted, each of which comprises a predetermined number of data elements in a predetermined first order, are transformed such that the data elements are in a second order. The transformed data blocks are transmitted and received, and the received data blocks are transformed such that the data elements are restored to the first order. A map is made available at the transmitter and receiver that correlates the position of each data element in a block in the first order to the position of that data element in a block in the second order. The map is used to effect the transformations. The map is based upon a most-perfect square of numbers in which the position of a number within the square corresponds to the position of a data element in a first block of a first order, and the magnitude of a number within the square corresponds to the position of a data element in a block in the second order. |
