Patent ID: 10218821

Abstract:
A method and apparatus of transmitting/receiving a packet in a system are provided. The method includes dividing each symbol corresponding to each row of a two-dimensional array having a predetermined symbol size (T) as a width into a predetermined number (m) of regions, sequentially arranging source packets to be transmitted, starting from a first column of a first row of the two-dimensional array, setting a remaining part of a region in which last data of a source packet is allocated in a last row in which the source packet is arranged to a predetermined value, arranging a next source packet, starting from a starting point of a region next to the region in which the last data is allocated in the last row in which the source packet is arranged, constructing a source block by arranging all of the source packets in the two-dimensional array, FEC-encoding the source block, and transmitting the FEC-encoded source block.
