Abstract
An error correction method and a transmission apparatus used in a transmission using a frame including a header and a payload are provided. In the error correction method and the transmission apparatus, a pseudo error is inserted in check bits of the frame to be transmitted. Thus, an error-correcting function of a transmitter and a receiver can be easily tested. A mismatch of a state of validation or invalidation of the error-correcting function between the transmitter and the receiver can be avoided without affecting a main signal by inserting information on whether or not an error correction is performed in an unused area of the header in the transmitter.
