A METHOD TO SUPPORT FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION FOR REAL-TIME AUDIO AND VIDEO DATA OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL NETWORKS

摘要

A method and apparatus are described for protecting real time media including receiving media packets, generating media bit strings from the media packets, applying a forward error correcting code across the generated media bit strings to generate at least one forward error correcting bit string and generating at least one forward error correcting packet from the at least one forward error correcting bit string. Also described are a method and apparatus for recovering from losses of real time media packets including forming media bit strings from received media packets, forming forward error correcting bit strings from received forward error correcting packets, decoding the formed media bit strings and forward error correcting bit strings t...
