Abstract
A method (50) reconstructs messages from segments (30) which are received in an unknown order and at different times. Each segment (30) comprises a header (31) and payload information (38). The method (50) reconstructs messages from the received segments (30) by reassembling the order as specified in the header (31) of the segment (30). Once the message is reconstructed, the message is delivered. This method (50) is especially important in satellite-based communications where no guarantee exists that the messages will be received in a sequential order or at a specified time.
