Abstract

A method for coded transmission of data is disclosed. A first code word interleaved in a first plurality of burst transmissions is recovered for further processing. The recovered code word is decoded to correct and identify any errors within the code word. Using the results of the above-decoding, bad burst transmissions are identified and erased. Subsequently, a second code word interleaved within a second plurality of burst transmissions is recovered. The second plurality of burst transmissions includes the erased burst transmissions from the first plurality of burst transmissions. The received second code word is then errors and erasures decoded.
