METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CODE COMBINING IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An encoder adds redundancy to a block of information bits to be transmitted via different stations in a communication system. The redundancy permits decoding of the received symbols from less than a complete encoded block of information. The symbols received from the different stations are combined before decoding. The present invention relates to broadcast or multicast communications, otherwise known as point-to-multipoint communications, in a wireline or a wireless communication system.
