Feedback of reinterleaved correctly decoded data block to decoder for use in additional channel decoding operations of channel coded word containing data block

摘要

The feedback of reinterleaved correctly decoded data blocks to a decoder is provided for use in channel decoding operations of channel coded word containing data block. Once a properly decoded data block has been determined, feedback of constraints on the estimated bit sequences decoded data characteristics to a turbo decoder assist in additional decoding operations. Estimated bit sequences may be selected from those trellises that pass through the constraint imposed by knowledge of re-interleaving properly decoded data blocks. This allows the decoder to generate solutions having a minimum probability of error that are also confined by the re-interleaved properly decoded data blocks.
