A method includes continuously receiving N data frames encoded from K source data packets by an erasure coding method; checking for errors in the received N data frames; and transmitting an acknowledge (ACK) message informing that the source data packets are capable of being restored, when the number (R) of data frames not containing errors is equal to or greater than the number (K) of source data packets, and transmitting an ACK message including the number (X) of data frames for which retransmission is to be requested when the number (R) of data frames not containing errors is less than the number (K) of source data packets, as a result of the checking.
