Abstract
A method and device for selective relaying in a communications network having a plurality of sources, a relay, and a reception device. The method includes the following steps: the relay receives messages transmitted respectively by the sources in order to obtain an estimate of the messages; the relay detects errors in the estimated messages; the relay transmits a representative signal to the reception device, the signal being representative of only those messages for which no error was detected and resulting from a non-bijective surjective function applied to the messages detected without error, the function including interleaving and encoding; and the representative signal being transmitted by the relay to the reception device with a control signal indicating which messages are represented in the representative signal.
