COMMUNICATION PROCESS IN A RADIO TELEPHONE SYSTEM

摘要

The process of the present invention enables a communication link to have a higher data rate input signal while maintaining a constant data rate output signal. The method first convolutionally encodes the input data signal to produce a plurality of convolutionally encoded signals. Each of the convolutionally encoded signals are comprised of a plurality of data symbols. Each data symbol is repeated a predetermined number of times to produce a code repetition data sequence at a predetermined and fixed rate. The data sequence is then punctured such that symbols in predetermined locations of the data sequence are deleted thus generating a data sequence at a predetermined and fixed rate which is lower than that of the original data sequence. The encoded signals with the repeated data symbols are multiplexed to produce a data sequence.
