A method for the broadcasting of digital data, intended to be received notably by mobile receivers moving about in an urban environment, that is, under conditions of multiple propagation and in the presence of parasites and jamming, enabling a coherent demodulation under such conditions of reception. This method is one for the broadcasting of digital data, notably for radio broadcasting at a high bit rate towards mobile receivers, of the type providing for the distribution of the data in the form of digital elements in the frequency-time space f-t and the transmission of symbols each constituted by a multiplex of N orthogonal carrier frequencies modulated by a set of digital elements and broadcast simultaneously, certain of the digital elements being reference elements with a value and position in the frequency-time space f-t that are known to the receivers.

Method for the broadcasting of digital data, notably for radio

A device for the transmission of digital data with at least two levels of protection, of the type providing for the distribution of the data to be transmitted in the form of digital elements in the time-frequency space and the transmission of symbols each formed by a multiplex of N orthogonal carriers modulated by a set of the digital elements, and transmitted simultaneously, the device including channel encoding means comprising at least two types of modulation and/or at least two encoding efficiency levels. This enables to optimize the use of the transmission channel by assigning differentiated transmission techniques to portions of data of a same digital train as a function of the different levels of protection sought, against transmission errors.
