Abstract
A communication subsystem ( ) for transmitting error correction coded data in packets ( ) includes an input buffer ( ) storing unencoded data, a product coder ( ) coupled to the input buffer, and a time division transmitter ( ). The product coder ( ) outputs product coded data packets ( ) having a packet size, and the time division transmitter ( ) transmits the product coded data packets ( ) in a data section ( ) of a frame ( ). The data section ( ) has a length substantially equal to an integer multiple of the packet size. The communication subsystem ( ) may use a (s, t)×(n, m) product code specifically adapted to product code 53 byte ATM cells. A method for communicating error correction coded data in packets includes storing unencoded data in an input buffer ( ), product coding the unencoded data ( ), and outputting product coded data packets ( ) having a packet size. The method also includes time division transmitting ( ) the coded data packets in a data section ( ) of a frame ( ) where the data section length is substantially equal to an integer multiple of the packet size.
