Abstract

A method for the dynamic reconfiguration of a signal frame structure, wherein each frame is structured in at least one subchannel having a number, order and/or format capable of being altered under the control of a reallocation command, time interleaving on N frames being selectively performed for each subchannel. According to the method, in the transient state, and for the N frames following a reallocation command, the procedure for writing data elements according to the interleaving law remains unchanged, in accordance with the new structure defined by a reallocation command, and a specific logic for rereading the memory plane is implemented so that the frames consist of uniform capacity units comprising data elements from the same source signal. The corresponding transmitters, receivers and signals are also disclosed.
