A rate matching method including: determining a receiving capability of a receive end, where the receiving capability is used to indicate a maximum data processing volume of the receive end in a first transmission time, and/or the receiving capability is used to indicate a maximum data buffer volume of the receive end in a first transmission time; the first transmission time is used to transmit a first transport block to which a first code block belongs; determining N.sub.CB based on the receiving capability, where N.sub.CB represents a code block size used for rate matching; performing rate matching on the first code block based on N.sub.CB. The receive end can adjust, based on a processing capability and/or a buffer capability that are/is of the receive end in a period of time, the code block size used for rate de-matching, to avoid insufficiency in processing capability and/or buffer overflow at the receive end.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a binary clustered forward error correction encoding scheme. Systems and methods are disclosed that define binary clustered encodings of the media packets from which forward error correction (FEC) packets are computed. The different encodings specify which media packets in a frame are used to compute each FEC packet (a frame includes M media packets). The different encodings may be defined based on the quantity of media packets in a frame, M≤floor(2.sup.N), where each bit of the binary representation of N is associated with a different cluster pair encoding of the media packets. Each cluster pair includes a cluster for which the bit=0 and a cluster for which the bit=1. Computing FEC packets using at least two cluster pair encodings provides redundancy for each media packet, thereby improving media packet recovery rates.

A decoding method, a memory storage device, and a memory control circuit unit are provided.

Therefore, an operating flexibility for decoding may be improved.
