Abstract
A communication system includes an encoder configured to encode first data words to generate code words. A modulator is configured to modulate the code words into a first signal that is transmitted on a communication channel. A demodulator is configured to demodulate a second signal, received from the communication channel, into estimates of the code words. The second signal is based on the first signal. A decoding module is configured to group the estimates of the code words into a plurality of groups of correlated data bits, wherein the correlated data bits include statistical relationships between different data bits, generate a plurality of group estimate signals each corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of groups of correlated data bits, and generate, by combining the plurality of group estimate signals, an estimate signal corresponding to the first data words.
