Abstract

The present invention concerns a method of protecting the transmission of cells in a telecommunication system, the method consisting, on the transmitter side, of simultaneously transmitting two identical flows of cells on two distinct physical links and, on the receiver side, of receiving each of the two flows of cells respectively transmitted on the said two links and selecting one of them. The method further consists, on the transmitter side, of inserting, regularly in each of the flows, cells serving as markers and thus delimiting blocks of cells or sets of blocks of cells, and, on the receiver side, of selecting, block after block or group of blocks after group of blocks, the block or group of blocks from the flow of cells which has the fewer transmission errors compared with the block or group of blocks of the same order number in the other flow.
