METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING/DECODING TRANSMISSION INFORMATION IN MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided to improve an error correction capability for transmitted information, thereby reducing bit error rate and block error rate, and improving the reliability. The method and apparatus can generate error correcting codes having a good minimum distance characteristic, and which can achieve soft decision decoding and reduce the quantity of calculations for the decoding by using an IFHT decoder. Also, the method and apparatus can perform decoding while improving the error correcting capability of particular bits.
