The packet erasure channel is a
communication channel model where sequential
packets are either received or lost (at a known location). This channel model is closely related to the
binary erasure channel.
An
erasure code can be used for
forward error correction
In computing, telecommunication, information theory, and coding theory, an error correction code, sometimes error correcting code, (ECC) is used for controlling errors in data over unreliable or noisy communication channels. The central idea is ...
on such a channel.
