METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CODE COMBINING AT AN OUTER DECODER ON A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An outer encoder (612) and an inner encoder (622, 632) encode subsets of information to be transmitted, to improve protection by adding redundancy. The redundancy permits decoding of the information from less than a complete encoded block of information. The use of a combiner 644 at an outer decoder (648) enables better outer decoding of symbols.
