PACKET-LEVEL ERASURE PROTECTION CODING IN AGGREGATED PACKET TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of improving a communication system using an aggregated packet (A-MPDU).SOLUTION: A method includes: using a Fountain coding scheme to generate error correction coding information from a plurality of packets, where each packet includes a header part and a payload part; forming at least one EC-Block (Error Correction Block), where the EC-Block includes the error correction coding information; and outputting the plurality of packets and the at least one EC-Block as an aggregated packet. The method further includes receiving a block acknowledgement for the aggregated packet.
