Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting an LDPC code in a multimedia system. The method includes generating an LDPC code based on a resulting parity check matrix which is generated by performing a row splitting operation on a base parity check matrix; and transmitting the LDPC code. The row splitting operation includes splitting each row block included in the base parity check matrix into row blocks, a number of the row blocks is determined based on a splitting factor, and the splitting factor is determined based on a number of repair symbols included in a repair symbol block of the base parity check matrix, a number of rows included in the base parity check matrix, and a scaling factor for determining a size of each permutation matrix in the resulting parity check matrix and a size of each zero matrix included in the resulting parity check matrix.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving encoded data. A codeword is generated by encoding an information word. Some parity bits are punctured in the generated codeword. A frame including the punctured codeword is transmitted. Additional parity bits for decoding the information word are transmitted in one or more other frames.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device and method for transmitting/receiving a packet in a communication system. The present invention includes: the processes of determining at least one MPEG media transport (MMT) asset protected by an application layer forward error correction (AL-FEC); determining at least one FEC flow for transmitting the at least one MMT asset; determining the MMT asset transmitted from the at least one FEC flow in each case and determining an FEC coding structure to apply to the at least one FEC flow; producing at least one source flow by dividing the MMT asset transmitted from the at least one FEC flow on a transmission unit basis; and producing and transmitting at least one parity flow by performing AL-FEC encoding on the at least one source flow according to the FEC coding structure.
