Method for reconstructing lost packets using a binary parity check

Abstract

The present invention provides methods for reconstructing lost or corrupted packets. One embodiment of the method may include performing at least one parity operation on information associated with at least one first packet. The method may also include transmitting the information associated with at least one first packet and information indicative of the at least one parity operation. Another embodiment of the method may include accessing information associated with at least one first packet and information indicative of at least one parity operation performed on information associated with at least one first packet and at least one second packet. The method may also include determining information associated with the at least one second packet based on information associated with at least one first packet and information indicative of at least one parity operation performed on information associated with at least one first packet and the least one second packet.
