Abstract:
1. A receiving apparatus comprising: a data packet receiver configured to receive a data packet comprising a plurality of data portions, each of the data portions comprising a part of one of a plurality of information items; a quality reinforcement packet receiver configured to receive a quality reinforcement packet comprising a plurality of quality reinforcement portions, each of the quality reinforcement portions being corresponding to one or more data portions among the data portions; an information setting module configured to select one or more information items among the information items and to set the data portion corresponding to a part of the selected information items as a recovery process target; a packet processor configured to associate the quality reinforcement packet with the data packet corresponding thereto and to determine whether there is a lost data packet based on presence/absence of a lost data packet; and a recovery processor configured to recover, when there is the lost data packet, at least the data portion set as the recovery process target in the lost data packet by using the data portion set as the recovery process target in a non-lost data packet and the quality reinforcement portion associated with the non-lost data portion, wherein when two or more information items are selected and the data portions set as the recovery process target are overlapped, the information setting module is configured to combine the data portions set as the recovery process target into one recovery target data block, and the recovery processor is configured to recover at least the data portion set as the recovery process target in the lost data packet by using the data portion included in the combined data block and the quality reinforcement portion corresponding thereto.
