Provided is a generating apparatus generating error-correcting code for data packet including: a first determining unit configured to determine a redundancy range for the error-correcting code; a second determining unit configured to determine a combination of a plurality of interleaving lengths indicating an interval of a plurality of data packets for which the error-correcting code is generated; and a generating unit configured to generate the error-correcting code for the data packet, based on a combination of the plurality of interleaving lengths determined by the second determining unit, wherein the second determining unit determines the combination of the plurality of interleaving lengths, such that a total redundancy of the error-correcting codes for the data packets corresponding to the combination of the plurality of interleaving lengths falls within a range of redundancy determined by the first determining unit.
