A method is disclosed for the transmission of information. The information contains n information carrier cells, with n being greater than or equal to 2. The method of linear encoding for erratic transmission includes at least the following steps: generating a mask {Mi}i=l,n of n cells corresponding to n information carrier cells; making a linear combination of at least all the n cells with the n cells of the generated mask to obtain a resulting word; performing a linear operation on the n cells of the resulting word to obtain a cell BT,j to be transmitted.
