METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MULTIPLEXING A PLURALITY OF DIGITAL DATA FLOWS INTO ONE GLOBAL DIGITAL DATA FLOW, AND METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DEMULTIPLEXING ONE GLOBAL DIGITAL DATA FLOW INTO A PLURALITY A DIGITAL DATA FLOWS

摘要

When data flows are multiplexed (FD), they are aggregated to form intermediate digital data flows (FID). The aggregation is made in such a way that data flows that are similar (FD) are consolidated to form an intermediate data flow (FDI), while data flows that are different (FD) are consolidated to form different intermediate data flows (FDI). As regards the intermediate data flows (FDI), steps are taken for identifying and/or correcting errors occurred therein. The intermediate data flows (FDI) are eventually consolidated to form one global data flow (FDG).
