Apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving forward error correction packet in mobile communication system

A method for receiving a Forward Error Correction (FEC) packet by an FEC packet reception apparatus in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving an FEC delivery block from an FEC packet transmission apparatus,
• wherein the FEC delivery block includes N payloads,
• wherein each of the N payloads includes a payload header,
• wherein each payload header included in each of C payloads among the N payloads includes packet oriented header information and an FEC delivery block oriented header information fragment,
• wherein the packet oriented header information is applied to a related payload, and
• wherein the FEC delivery block oriented header information fragment is generated by fragmenting FEC delivery block oriented header information applied to the N payloads.
