Method for matching the bit rate in a communication device, and a corresponding communication device

摘要

In order to match the bit rate in a communication device, the bits of a bit stream are punctured or repeated, in which case for each bit an updated error value is calculated on the basis of a previously determined error value and an update parameter and a judgment is made on the basis of the updated error value as to whether the corresponding bit is to be punctured or repeated or not. A variable, bit-specific update parameter is used to determine the updated error value of each bit, such that it is possible to achieve a non-uniform puncturing/repetition density.
