Abstract:
A method and apparatus for decoding received packets in a broadcasting and communication system is provided. The method includes reconstructing a source block by arranging source packets received from a sender on a two-dimensional array having a width of a given symbol size, and determining at least one Erased Subdivided Encoding Symbol Index (E-SESI) corresponding to at least one source packet which is not successfully received in the reconstructed source block, determining a symbol unit for Forward Error Correction (FEC) decoding based on the at least one E-SESI, and performing FEC decoding on the reconstructed source block depending on the determined symbol unit.
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.
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:
An apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving an Application Layer-Forward Error Correction (AL-FEC) packet in a multimedia communication system are provided. In the AL-FEC packet transmission method, an AL-FEC packet transmission apparatus generates AL-FEC packets, and transmits the AL-FEC packets to an AL-FEC packet reception apparatus, wherein each of the AL-FEC packets includes an AL-FEC codeword symbol and an AL-FEC header, the AL-FEC codeword symbol is one of AL-FEC codeword symbols included in an AL-FEC codeword block, and the AL-FEC header includes order information indicating an order of an AL-FEC codeword symbol into which the AL-FEC header is inserted among the AL-FEC codeword symbols included in the AL-FEC codeword block.
