ABSTRACT:
A system and method for transmitting information to a group of recipient devices according to a transmission schedule. A sequence of M blocks of information are transformed 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 in a network in accordance with a transmission schedule. At one of the user devices 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 from the K transformed blocks. In some implementations, at least one recipient device reduces power, after receiving a recipient schedule including a transmission time of at least one desired content, until or near the transmission time of the at least one desired content.
