Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method of transferring content from a first communication device to a second communication device in a communication network, comprising the following steps: defining a first probability, according to which a content can be encoded; defining a second probability, according to which a content can be chosen; upon request of content from said second communication device to said first communication device: encoding content with another content according to said first probability, said content being chosen with said second probability, and transferring content z=x XOR y from said first communication device to said second communication device, or according to probability 1−pe transferring unencoded content x from said first communication device to said second communication device.
