Patent number: 8166355Abstract: A receiver is provided, which is adapted to receive MPE-FEC frames and to correct erroneous sections within a received MPE-FEC frame by detecting unreliable sections and storing in an erasure list (“ESL”) table compressed data that includes the base address of each detected erroneous section, together with the respective section's size. The size of the ESL table may be fixed, or it may correlate, or dynamically change according to the actual number of detected erroneous sections. The data stored in the erasure list may then be forwarded to a decoder to correct erroneous sections. The erroneous sections may be detected by using CRC, and the decoder may be a Reed-Solomon decoder.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2006Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Siano Mobile Silicon Ltd.Inventors: Ronen Jashek, Roy Oren, Alon Ironi, Dror Meiri
