Information packets are error encoded for transmission through a communication channel (34) in a communication system (10) using a variable payload outer code and a common physical layer inner code. The variable payload outer code is selected for each packet based upon an application or service associated with the packet. Thus, less coding can be used for packets associated with error tolerant applications and more coding can be used for packets associated with error sensitive applications. A common header outer code is also used for the packets. The variable payload outer code is preferably applied at the system adaptation level within an interworking function (22, 24) in the communication system (10). The common header outer code and the common physical layer inner code are preferably applied at the data link layer.
