Claim Text:
1. A method of encoding comprising: obtaining a stream of information bits; encoding the stream of information bits into a plurality of forward error correct (FEC) codeblocks by encoding the stream of information bits at the application layer using an FEC convolutional code to obtain a stream of FEC bits, partitioning the stream of FEC bits into a plurality of subsets of FEC bits, and encoding each subset of FEC bits at a lower layer using a secondary FEC code to obtain the plurality of FEC code blocks, wherein each FEC codeblock is independently decodable; mapping the plurality of FEC codeblocks to a plurality of resource blocks, wherein each FEC codeblock is mapped to a single one of the resource blocks; and transmitting the plurality of FEC codeblocks as a data stream in accordance with the mapping of FEC codeblocks to resource blocks.
