First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of selecting an error correction algorithm in a communications system, the method comprising:
- dividing each time frame of a multi-frame into a plurality of time slots;
determining an error rate level of a communication channel based on a plurality of bearer data packets when received during said multi-frame;
selecting an error correction algorithm from a plurality of error correction algorithms taking into account said error rate level;
determining the dynamic quality of said communication channel; and
adjusting the number of time frames in a multi-frame based on said dynamic quality.

Abstract
A forward error correction (FEC) method is provided including an FEC dynamic central station and a plurality of FEC dynamic remote stations that transmit bearer data and corresponding error correction data therebetween during a plurality of time frames. The error rate of the communication channel is measured and the amount of error correction data transmitted is accordingly and dynamically adjusted, so that the minimum amount of overhead required to effectively transmit the error correction data is used.
