Abstract
Device and method for inserting error correcting codes and for reconstructing data streams, and corresponding products The present invention relates to a device () for inserting error correcting codes into data streams () intended to be sent in packets in a network (), a device () for reconstructing data streams (), and corresponding methods and products. The insertion device comprises a unit () for identifying resynchronization indicators dispersed in the data streams and a unit () for determining successive segments in these streams, the segments forming partitions of the data lying between two consecutive resynchronization indicators. It also comprises a unit () for allocating a set of error correcting codes to each of these segments, these sets of codes having decreasing sizes between any two of the consecutive resynchronization indicators. Preferably, the device also comprises a data interleaving unit ().
