Abstract: A system and method for transmitting information to a group of recipient devices [106, 108, 110] according to a transmission schedule [500] is provided. A sequence of M blocks of information are transformed [406] into N transformed blocks, where M and N are integers and N?M. Each of the N transformed blocks are transmitted to a group of user devices [106, 108, 110] in a network in accordance with a transmission schedule [500]. At one of the user devices [106, 108, 110], at least some of the N transformed blocks are received. When K distinct transformed blocks have been received, where K is an integer and K<N, the information is reconstructed [708] from the K transformed blocks. In some implementations, at least one recipient device [106, 108, 110] reduces power, after receiving a recipient schedule [600] including a transmission time [602] of at least one desired content, until or near the transmission time [602] of the at least one desired content.
