Forward error correction encoding/decoding method and apparatus, digital broadcasting reception apparatus, and decoding method thereof

摘要

A forward error correction encoding method includes: separating a first header section from an inputted packet stream; generating a second payload section by encoding a first payload section of the packet stream, from which the first header section is separated, according to a preset code rate; generating a second header section according to the code rate; and combining the first header section, the second header section, and the second payload section.
