Abstract

For a transmission system in which (a) a received sequence of symbols is processed by an inner decoder followed by an outer decoder and (b) the inner decoder is capable of providing to the outer decoder more than one output sequence corresponding to the received sequence, the decoded sequence released by the outer decoder is screened for errors undetected by the outer decoder, if a predetermined criterion is satisfied.
