Fec code and code rate selection based on packet size

A method for communication, comprising:

• determining a packet size to use for data transmission;
• and
• selecting a code rate from among a plurality of code rates for a forward error correction (FEC) code based on the packet size, with progressively higher code rates being selected for progressively larger packet sizes.

An apparatus for communication, comprising:

• means for determining a packet size to use for data transmission;
• and
• means for selecting a code rate from among a plurality of code rates for a forward error correction (FEC) code based on the packet size, with progressively higher code rates being selected for progressively larger packet sizes.

An apparatus for communication, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to receive a packet encoded in accordance with a selected code rate for a forward error correction (FEC) code, the code rate being selected from among a plurality of code rates for the FEC code based on a packet size of the packet, and to decode the packet in accordance with the selected code rate for the FEC code;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store the packet.
