An erasure correction encoding apparatus 710 providing high erasure correction capability, not depending on the size of packets is disclosed. Packet dividing section 716 receives packet 43, setting signal 42 and control signal 44 as input, and decides whether or not to perform packet division based on the packet size. If the packet size designated by setting signal 42 is not the minimum packet size among packet sizes supported by the communication system, packet dividing section 716 decides to perform packet division. Then, in this case, packet dividing section 716 divides packet 43 and outputs divided packets as packet 46. By contrast, if the packet size designated by setting signal 42 is the minimum packet size among packet sizes supported by the communication system, packet dividing section 716 decides not to perform packet division. Then, in this case, packet dividing section 716 outputs packet 43 as is as packet 46. |
