Here, the boundary of an input packet may be included in a packet into which padding is inserted.

A transmission apparatus, in particular for use in a Low Throughput Network, comprises an FEC encoder configured to encode payload data into FEC code words each having a predetermined code word length, and a frame forming section configured to form a frame having a predetermined frame length. A frame comprises a first frame portion having a first predetermined length of an integer multiple of the predetermined code word length and a second frame portion having a second predetermined length shorter than the predetermined code word length. The frame forming section is configured to include an FEC code word and a predetermined number of repetitions of said FEC code word into the first frame portion of a frame and to include a selected number of bits of said FEC code word into the second frame portion of said frame.
