METHOD OF CORRECTING AN ERRONEOUS FRAME BY A RECEIVER

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of processing a received data unit (UDR) by a receiver via a network, the method comprising a channel decoding stage (CDEC1, CDEC2) of the received data unit (UDR), intended to deliver a hard bit string (TBD), a transformation stage for transforming said hard bit string into a hard frame (TD), said hard frame comprising at least an error detector code and a test stage (TST) intended to test with said error correcting code if said hard frame (TD) is correct or incorrect. Said method is characterized in that it further comprises a frame correction stage (COR) intended to correct an incorrect frame (TE) into a correct frame (TCo). In the preferred embodiment of the invention said frame correction stage (COR) utilizes soft data delivered by a soft output channel decoding stage (CDEC2). The advantage of such a method is that rejects and retransmissions of frames are avoided.
