Apparatus for transmitting and receiving interleaved error correction coded data on a transmission frame

摘要

The present invention concerns an error correcting receiver, an error correcting transmitter as well as a method for error correcting transmission of data. The error-correcting receiver for receiving data-cells having cell identifiers and error-correction cells, is characterised by a) a memory (18) for storing said received data-cells and error-correction cells, b) identifier detection means (19) for determining whether any data-cell or error-correction cell was not received, c) lost data filling means (21) for storing data in said memory for any data-cell or error-correction cell which was not received; and d) error correction means (20) for forming a plurality of error correction frames including a data unit from each of said data cells and said error-correction cells, and for correcting data in said data-cells using check data in said error-correction cells within an error correction frame.
