Abstract
The present invention provides a method for controlling transmission of a signal between a transmitter and a receiver during a phase of change of a signal data rate. The method comprises, when the change is requested, informing the transmitter and receiver of a start of a transition phase. The transmitter retransmits the signal N times, with N≥1, in identical signal parts having a chosen length. The receiver stores the N retransmitted identical signal parts successively received to combine them together to produce a combined signal part, and to temporarily output these combined signal parts with an auxiliary data rate depending on N and on this signal part length. The transmitter and the receiver are informed of the end of the transition phase when the signal data rate change is finished.
