Abstract From the Canadian patent

A protocol for optimizing the use of coded transmissions such as over wireless links. In this technique interframes are first split into segments selected to be an optimum size according to transmission characteristics of the radio channel. Segments are assigned a position identifier and redundancy check sum. Segments are then assembled into blocks and a forward error correction algorithm is applied to the block to generate redundancy bits. The FEC block is then split up among available communication channels and forwarded to the receiver. The inverse process is applied at the receiver. Using this scheme only segments containing erroneous data need to be resent. A large block size required …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed February 23, 2000 and granted July 31, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 23, 2020.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 23, 2022.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
