1. A method for transmitting interleaved shares of packet-level forward-error-correction encoded packets, each share including source packets and wildcard packets, wherein a given time shift occurs between consecutive shares, the method comprising the steps of:

  • determining a current state;

    associating a packet with a share based on the current state;

    determining a position of the packet within the share based on the given time shift; and

    ,if the position of the packet corresponds to a source packet position, computing a contribution from the packet to wildcard packets of the share and transmitting the packet as a source packet, or, if the position of the packet corresponds to a wildcard packet position, transmitting the packet as a wildcard packet,wherein positions of two consecutive packets within two shares are not the same, andwherein the above steps are performed by a processor.
