Abstract
A transmission apparatus for use in a communication system comprises MAC layer processing circuitry and PHY layer processing circuitry. The MAC layer processing circuitry is configured to encode, on a MAC layer, N data units, each comprising payload data, into M parity units, each comprising parity data allowing the reconstruction of one or more erroneous data units among said N data units in a receiver apparatus, according to a parity rule, the N data units and the corresponding M parity units representing a parity block, and to form a MAC layer data stream from the data units and the parity units of the parity block. The PHY layer processing circuitry is configured to encode, on a PHY layer, bits of the MAC layer data stream into codewords of a code and to form a PHY layer data stream from the codewords.
