Abstract
Communication endpoints and related methods for forward error correction (FEC) are disclosed. A communication endpoint includes control circuitry including a packetizer configured to segment near-end data into groups of near-end data packets, and a forward error correction (FEC) packet generator configured to generate at least two near-end FEC packets for each group of near-end data packets. A method includes generating the FEC packets, and transmitting the data packets and the FEC packets to a far-end communication endpoint. A communication endpoint includes control circuitry including a forward error correction repairer configured to use far-end FEC packets to repair groups of far-end data packets. A method includes receiving a group of far-end data packets and corresponding far-end FEC packets, and repairing far-end data packets with the corresponding far-end FEC packets.
