This invention relates to a method, system, transmitter, network element,
receiver and software application for a system capable of
point-to-multipoint transmission, where one or more data packets are
transmitted from a transmitter to one or more receivers, where at least
at one specific receiver of said receivers, a reception of repair data
packets is required, where repair information is signaled to a repair
server in order to trigger a transmission of the repair data packets, and
where the repair information comprises information related to the number
of transmitted data packets correctly received at the specific receiver.
The system may for instance be the 3GPP Multimedia Broadcast Multicast
System, the transmission of data packets may for instance be controlled
by the File Delivery Over Unidirectional Transport protocol and the
signaling of the repair information may for instance be controlled by the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
