A communication subsystem (300) for transmitting error correction coded data in packets (200) includes an input buffer (302) storing unencoded data, a product coder (304) coupled to the input buffer, and a time division transmitter (306). The product coder (304) outputs product coded data packets (200) having a packet size, and the time division transmitter (306) transmits the product coded data packets (200) in a data section (109) of a frame (104). The data section (109) has a length substantially equal to an integer multiple of the packet size. The communication subsystem (300) may use a (s, t) x (n, m) product code specifically adapted to product code 53 byte ATM cells. A method for communicating error correction coded data in packets includes storing unencoded data in an input buffer (402), product coding the unencoded data (404), and outputting product coded data packets (406) having a packet size. The method also includes time division transmitting (408) the coded data packets in a data section (109) of a frame (104) where the data section length is substantially equal to an integer multiple of the packet size.
