In a first aspect, a stream of data is transmitted by dividing the stream of data into a first substream and a second substream, transmitting the first substream in a first data channel, and transmitting the second substream in a second data channel. Before transmitting the first and second substreams, a first marker signal is inserted in the first substream and/or a second marker signal is inserted in the second substream. A receiver circuit receives the substreams, detects at least one marker signal, and reassembles the data stream from the substreams based on at least one detected marker signal. Numerous other aspects are provided.
