Method for transmitting on a plurality of transmission media, with dynamic data dispatching, and corresponding transmitter and terminal
First Claim
1. A method of transmitting data from a plurality of sources (22i) to a plurality of receivers (24) via a single gateway (21) using at least two separate data transmission media (23i), said receivers (24) being able to receive selectively data transmitted on any of said transmission media (23i), the method being characterized in that it assures dynamic distribution of said data to be tansmitted to said transmission media (23i) in accordance with an a is of all of said data to be transmitted, signalling data (32;
- 42) specifying to each of said receivers (24) regularly throughout the transmission of said data the transmission medium or media (23i) it is to use.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method of transmitting data from a plurality of sources (22i) to a plurality of receivers (24) via a single gateway (21) using at least two separate data transmission media (23i), said receivers (24) being able to receive selectively data transmitted on any of said transmission media (23i), the method being characterized in that it assures dynamic distribution of said data to be transmitted to said transmission media (23i) in accordance with a global analysis of all of said data to be transmitted, signalling data (32; 42) regularly specifying to each of said receivers (24) the transmission medium or media (23i) it is to use.

9. A transmitter for a system for transmitting data from a plurality of sources (22i) to a plurality of receivers (24), the transmitter being characterized in that it comprises:
-
transmission means (21) using at least two separate data transmission media (23i), said receivers (24) being able to receive selectively data transmitted on any one of said transmission media (23i);
means (21) for dynamically distributing said data to be transmitted to said transmission media (23i) in accordance with a global analysis of all of said data to be transmitted; and
means for generating signalling data (32;
42) regularly specifying to each of said receivers (24) the transmission medium or media (23i) it is to use.- View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
