Method for transmitting and receiving variable length packets based on forward error correction (FEC) coding

摘要

A method for transmitting variable length packets based on FEC coding. Data packets are successively and contiguously stored in a two-dimensional storage device. FEC coding is performed to generate parity packets. The parity packets are stored in the two-dimensional storage device. The data packets, offsets representing positions of the data packets in the two-dimensional storage device, types of packets, and the parity packets are then transmitted.
