15. A method of satellite communication, said method comprising the steps of:
-
interleaving image data; transmitting said interleaved image data to at least one satellite; receiving and retransmitting said interleaved image data by said at least one satellite; receiving said retransmitted interleaved image data by at least one receiver from said at least one satellite, wherein said at least one receiver is mobile; and de-interleaving said image data, such that said receiver employs an error correction technique to emit a substantially error free output when said receiver'"'"'s visibility to said at least one satellite is blocked for a period of time up to approximately twenty-five seconds (25 s). - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
