Abstract
An encoder receives a sequence of packets. For each packet, the encoder selects a window of at least previous packets in the sequence of packets. The encoder identifies in the window one or more earlier packets among the previous packets and one or more later packets separated from the one or more earlier packets by a gap including gap packets. The encoder encodes the one or more earlier packets and the one or more later packets into a forward error correction (FEC) packet corresponding to the packet, without using any of the gap packets, and transmits the FEC packet and the packet.
