Embodiment Construction

[0019]Certain embodiments of the invention may be found in a method and apparatus for forward error correction (FEC) in a resource-constrained network. In various embodiments of the invention, an electronic device may implement and / or support adaptive use of forward error correction (FEC) in a resource-constrained network. In this regard, the adaptive use of FEC may comprise determining whether use of FEC encoding in transmissions from another electronic device to the electronic device is necessary, desirable, and / or feasible; and when use of FEC encoding is deemed feasible and either necessary or desirable, the electronic device instructing the another electronic device to utilize FEC encoding when transmitting signals destined for the electronic device. Use of FEC encoding may be determined to be feasible and either necessary or desirable based on power loss associated with the communications from the another electronic device. In this regard, determining or estimating the power l...

Abstract

An electronic device may utilize or support adaptive use of forward error correction (FEC) in a resource-constrained network. The adaptive FEC use may comprise determining whether use of FEC encoding in transmissions from another electronic device to the electronic device is necessary, desirable, and / or feasible, and when use of FEC encoding is deemed feasible and either necessary or desirable, instructing the another electronic device to utilize FEC encoding when transmitting signals destined for the electronic device. Use of FEC encoding may be determined to be feasible, necessary and / or desirable based on power loss associated with the communications from the another electronic device; based on determination of latency associated with the communications from the another electronic device; and / or based on power and / or processing related resources in the electronic device. The electronic device may separately and selectively apply FEC encoding to transmissions to the another electronic device.
