Abstract
A device and method for receiving communications with dynamic data correction, the method including receiving at a receiving device a data packet from a sending device, the data packet including a header, and a data payload including one or more message blocks and corresponding redundancy blocks; recognizing, via pre-configuration of the receiving device, that there are redundancy blocks to receive along with the one or more message blocks and reading in the message blocks and corresponding redundancy blocks; determining that at least one of the message blocks is defective (e.g., corrupt, missing, etc.); processing one or more of the redundancy blocks to correct the defective message blocks; and optionally sending a response message to the sending device. The method may further include identifying which message blocks are defective and sending a request for, and receiving, redundancy blocks corresponding to the identified defective message blocks.
