Abstract

A wireless transmission system for transmitting audio data. The system includes a transmitter which re-frames the audio data into a plurality of packets and wirelessly transmits at least two copies of each packet during substantially non-overlapping periods, and one or more receivers which receive the plurality of packets and assess a quality level of at least one of the copies thereof, so as to extract the audio data from one of the copies having a desired quality level. Preferably, the receivers include respective back-transmitters, which transmit control commands back to the transmitter, responsive to the data.
