METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAXIMIZING THE INTERLEAVING LENGTH WHEN PADDING MPE-FEC FRAMES

摘要

Provided are apparatuses and methods for maximizing interleaving length when padding the contents of a frame for digital transmission. Data packets, comprising data for transmission, prior to time-interleaving, are padded with padding packets in such a way as to maximize interleaving length. When using Multi Protocol Encapsulation - Forward Error Correction (MPE-FEC), maximizing interleaving length ensures consistent signal quality.
