  • Advanced digital audio broadcasting forward error correction processing in packet mode utilizing tokens
    Patent number: 9606859
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method for performing forward error correction (FEC) on protected data packets is disclosed. The method involves creating a FEC table having columns for application data and columns for error-correction data (EC data). Then, a number of protected application data packets are received and placed in the FEC table. If an application data packet is received, then the application data from the packet is placed in the application data column. If an application data packet is not received, generated zeroes are placed in the application data column. Once the application data columns of the FEC table are full, EC data corresponding to the application data is received and placed in the EC data columns of the FEC table. The rows of the FEC table are then fed to the decoder for error correction.
