An enhanced forward error correction system is disclosed. Transmitted data is encoded into codewords in multiple dimensions. The decoding of received data by a decoder is performed in multiple passes in each dimension, with corrected data provided as an output from each pass into another decoder for the next decode pass. The encoder in one embodiment comprises a parallel inner RS(247,239) encoder or encoders and parallel outer BCH(255,247) encoder or encoders. Additional steps are added for error multiplication reduction. The system provides an approach to detect generally uncorrectable patterns for concatenated codes and provides a correction mechanism for improving error correction performance.
