CONCATENATED CODING OF THE MULTI-BAND ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MODULATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to a transmitter that includes a first block encoder (450) operable to block encode at least a first portion of a multi-band orthogonal frequency division modulation signal. The first block encoder (450) also includes a convolution encoder (304) operable to convolution encode the output of the first block encoder (450). A method of communicating is also disclosed. The method comprises block encoding a first portion of a message to produce a first outer code word. The method includes convolution encoding the first outer code word to produce a first inner code word. The method also includes transmitting the first inner code word as part of a multi­band orthogonal frequency division modulation signal.
