Error detection for multi-stream communications

摘要

According to an embodiment of the invention, a method and apparatus are described for error detection for multi-stream communication. Under an embodiment of the invention, a method for producing an error word for a data stream comprises computing an intermediate error word for each of a plurality of data sub-streams, the data stream being equivalent to a concatenation of the plurality of data sub-streams; and combining the intermediate error words to produce the error word for the data stream.
