A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADAPTING FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION IN MULTICAST OVER WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A method and apparatus are described including receiving channel condition feedback from a device over a wireless channel, determining, based on the received feedback, whether the device can be served, determining if a forward error correction coding rate is sufficient for the device to recover lost data, adjusting the forward error correction coding rate responsive to the second determining act and generating forward error correction packets using forward error correction coding rate from said source data.
