Application of forward error correction to recover lost packets in higher layers of communication networks is receiving increasing attention. Most of the previous proposals for packet loss recovery use symbol-oriented Reed-Solomon codes operating in symbol erasure-correction mode. A Reed-Solomon code is optimal in the sense that it is maximal distance separable; however, the decoding speed of a Reed-Solomon code is slow since it involves operations over GF(2m) using lookup tables. A packet-oriented (n, k)/(m, l) packet-loss resilient code based on an (n, k) Reed-Solomon code over GF(2m) is given. The code accepts k-packet information sequences and encodes them into n-packet …
