A transmission method in a first node device of a power line communication network, the first node device being configured so as to apply a reception mode for receiving data transmitted by a second node device in one or more separate frequency bands in parallel or else in a frequency band called “extended frequency band” comprising at least two separate frequency bands, the method comprising steps of de-interleaving the data read from a buffer memory in a first de-interleaving mode specific to reception in an extended frequency band and detecting whether the de-interleaved data are coherent and, if the obtained data are coherent, recording the de-interleaved data and, if not, de-interleaving data, for each of the separate frequency bands, in a de-interleaving mode specific to the separate frequency band for which the de-interleaving is performed and, if the de-interleaved data are coherent, recording the de-interleaved data.
