  • Publication number: 20070217487
    Abstract: The present is a description of a method for transferring data between at least two transmitters and one receiver having repeatedly transferring first identical data from a first one of the transmitters to the receiver in a first sequence and repeatedly transferring second identical data from a second one of the transmitters to the receiver in a second sequence. The number of repetitions in the first sequence and the number of repetitions in the second sequence are equal to or greater than the number of transmitters, and the first and second sequences are different to each other. In this way a data transfer can be realized with less expenditure.
