Abstract

A method of distributing streaming media to one or more users (104). The method includes partitioning the media into segments that each include data associated with at least a portion of one or more of the successive data units in the media. Each segment also includes information for positioning the data relative to the order of the data units. A transmission sequence having a plurality of successive time slots is defined for the segments to enable reconstruction of an I-th data unit from L; segments. A server (102) transmits each of the segments according to the defined transmission sequence during one of the time slots. A client (104) processes the transmitted segments based on the positioning information to reconstruct the media.
