System and method for multi-channel FEC encoding and transmission of data

摘要

A mechanism for resilient transmission of a data stream D by associating sequential data stream portions with respective elements within an array of elements, defining and FEC encoding each of a plurality of element groups comprising non-sequential data stream portions, dividing the sequence of FEC blocks into a plurality of substreams, and associating each substream with a respective transmission channel.

1. A method, comprising:
associating, by an apparatus comprising one or more computer devices, sequential data stream portions of a data stream with respective elements within an array of elements; defining, by the apparatus, a plurality of element groups, each element group comprising a plurality of elements including non-sequential data stream portions of the data stream; forward error correction (FEC) encoding, by the apparatus, each of the element groups to form respective FEC blocks; dividing, by the apparatus, the encoded FEC blocks into a plurality of substreams; associating, by the apparatus, each substream with a respective transmission channel; and providing, by the apparatus, parameters for modulating each substream to generate a respective modulated signal adapted for transmission via the respective transmission channel.
