摘要 |
A computationally simple yet powerful forward error correction code scheme for transmission of real-time media signals, such as digitized voice, video or audio, in a packet switched network, such as the Internet. The invention appends to each of a series of payload packets a single forward error correction code that is defined by taking the XOR sum of a preceding specified number of payload packets. The invention thereby enables correction from the loss of multiple packets in a row, without significantly increasing the data rate or otherwise delaying transmission.
