Provided is a method of detecting a packet error of a return link performed in a satellite communication apparatus receiving a packet through the return link. The method includes generating a first return link packet combination by assembling at least one fragmented packet received through the return link, and determining an error of the packet using at least one piece of information among fragmentation information on at least one second return link packet received after the first return link packet combination is generated, whether or not the first return link packet combination is complete, and packet process state information. Accordingly, it is possible to minimize packet loss caused by a reassembly error of a received packet. |
