APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF A POSITION OF A 1 BIT ERROR IN A CODED BIT SEQUENCE, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CORRECTION OF A 1-BIT ERROR IN A CODED BIT SEQUENCE AND DECODER AND METHOD FOR DECODING AN INCORRECT, CODED BIT SEQUENCE

摘要

An apparatus for determination of a position of a 1-bit error includes an error position determiner of the inner code, an error syndrome determiner of the outer code, a derivative determiner and an overall error position determiner. The error position determiner of the inner code determines at least one possible error position of a bit error in the coded bit sequence on the basis of the inner code. The error syndrome determiner of the outer code determines a value of a non-linear syndrome bit of the outer code on the basis of a non-linear function of bits in the coded bit sequence. Furthermore, the derivative determiner determines a value of a derivative bit for at least one determined, possible error position of the bit error on the basis of derivation of the non-linear function based on the bit at the determined, possible error position in the coded bit sequence.
