METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ERROR-CORRECTING DIFFERENCE-TRIANGLE-SET PRODUCT CONVOLUTIONAL CODES

摘要

Methods, apparatus, systems, architectures and interfaces for encoding/decoding a QDDTSPrCC are provided. The decoding method includes determining a number kTS of input bits included in a transmission of a data stream and a first bit of the input bits included in the transmission in the data stream; determining a number of Encoded Bit Blocks (EBBs), each of the EBBs including any number of data blocks that are previously transmitted Transmit Segments (TS) of the data stream, each of the data blocks having a bit length of kTS bits; selecting that number of EBBs for encoding a QDDTSPrCC component codeword (QDCC) of the transmission according to a DTS indexing method for indexing a plurality of EBBs; generating the QDCC including a TS, Virtual Segments (VSs), and rc parity bits, a dimensionality of the QDDTSPrCC being at least 2; and extracting the calculated TS of the QDCC to an output EBB.
