AN ENCODING/DECODING DEVICE FOR ENCODING/DECODING INPUT INFORMATION BITS/CODEWORD BITS USING A GENERATOR POLYNOMIAL

摘要

The invention relates to an encoding device for encoding input information bits using a generator polynomial represented by a product of a plurality of sub-polynomials, comprising a plurality of serial concatenated encoders each having different respective generator polynomials, wherein said generator polynomial is a product of the respective generator polynomials and each respective generator polynomial is represented by one of the plurality of sub-polynomials or by a product of sub-polynomials, and a first-stage encoder out of the serial concatenated encoder receives said input information bits.
