Abstract
Coding a data stream is provided, wherein the data stream comprises at least one packet having a given packet length and respective partitions of the at least one packet are coded with different error protection rates, the respective lengths of the respective partitions being determined by respective predetermined percentages of the packet length or a fraction of the packet length.
Claims9
A method of decoding a received data stream, the received data stream comprising at least one packet having a given packet length, wherein respective partitions of the at least one packet have been coded with different error protection rates, wherein respective lengths of the respective partitions are determined by respective predetermined percentages of the packet length wherein the respective predetermined percentages are determined such that a first partition of the packet comprises at least a first original packet partition and the sum of the first partition of the packet and a second partition of the packet comprises at least the first original partition and a second original partition of the packet, the method comprising the acts of:
- decoding the respective packet partitions with the different error protection rates;
- and
- outputting the data stream having the respective packet partitions decoded with the different error protection rates.
An encoder for coding a data stream, the data stream comprising at least one packet having a given packet length, the encoder comprising:
- means for coding respective partitions of the at least one packet with different error protection rates, wherein respective lengths of the respective partitions are determined by respective predetermined percentages of the packet length or of a fraction of the packet length wherein the respective predetermined percentages are determined such that a first partition of the packet comprises at least a first original packet partition and the sum of the first partition of the packet and a second partition of the packet comprises at least the first original partition and a second original partition of the packet;
- and
- means for outputting the data stream with the respective partitions of the at least one packet coded with the different error protection rates.
A decoder for decoding a received data stream, the received data stream comprising at least one packet having a given packet length, wherein respective partitions of the at least one packet have been coded with different error protection rates, wherein respective lengths of the respective partitions are determined by respective predetermined percentages of the packet length or a fraction of the packet length, wherein the respective predetermined percentages are determined such that a first partition of the packet comprises at least a first original packet partition and the sum of the first partition of the packet and a second partition of the packet comprises at least the first original partition and a second original partition of the packet, the decoder comprising:
- means for decoding the respective packet partitions with the different error protection rates;
- and
- means for outputting the data stream having the respective packet partitions decoded with the different error protection rates.
A system configured to transmit a data stream from a transmitter to a receiver, the data stream comprising at least one packet having a given packet length, wherein respective partitions of the at least one packet have been coded with different error protection rates, wherein respective lengths of the respective partitions are determined by respective predetermined percentages of the packet length or a fraction of the packet length wherein the respective predetermined percentages are determined such that a first partition of the packet comprises at least a first original packet partition and the sum of the first partition of the packet and a second partition of the packet comprises at least the first original partition and a second original partition of the packet.
A method of coding a data stream, the data stream comprising at least one packet having a given packet length, the method comprising the acts of:
- a) coding respective partitions of the at least one packet with different error protection rates, wherein respective lengths of the respective partitions are determined by respective predetermined percentages of the packet length or of a fraction of the packet length;
- and
- b) outputting the data stream with the respective partitions of the at least one packet coded with the different error protection rates,
- wherein the respective predetermined percentages are determined such that a first partition of the packet comprises at least a first original packet partition and the sum of the first partition of the packet and a second partition of the packet comprises at least the first original partition and a second original partition of the packet.
