Method and device for error correction of data blocks

摘要

In a method for error correcting a data signal that is transmitted via a channel and contains data blocks with associated error checking information, the data signal is first equalized, with calculated soft-bit information. In a subsequent step, the error checking information is evaluated with respect to the data block. If the evaluation of the error checking information shows that a single bit error is present in one message bit, the single bit error is corrected only when a condition that is dependent on the soft-bit information is satisfied.
