Zusammenfassung:A method for dynamically allocating forward error encoding is disclosed. The method monitors bandwidth utilization for transmitting data, and dynamically adjusts a level of forward error encoding, based on the bandwidth utilization for data, to substantially occupy available bandwidth not being utilized. Also, a communications system is disclosed, which includes a data formatting unit adapted to dynamically adjust the level of forward error encoding based on data bandwidth utilization such that the level of forward error encoding substantially occupies unutilized bandwidth, a transmitter adapted to transmit a data signal formatted by the data formatting unit, and a receiver adapted to receive the transmitted signal containing data and forward error encoding.
