Abstract

A method for decoding includes receiving channel inputs for respective bits of a super code word that includes at least first and second component code words having a shared group of bits. At least the first and second component code words are iteratively decoded, and, in response to recognizing that the first and second component code words contain errors only within the shared group of bits, the first and second component code words are jointly decoded.
