ENCODING TECHNIQUES USING MULTIPLE CODING STRENGTHS WITHIN A SINGLE LDPC CODE WORD

摘要

Techniques are presented herein to encode information bits. The information bits are partitioned into at least two groups based on inherent reliability and immunity to channel impairments of the respective bits. Each of the groups of information bits is encoded with a different coding strength. The resulting code word may be stored in a storage media or transmitted in a communication channel.
