Abstract:
1. A method for processing encoded data in a decoder, the method comprising: receiving a first set of output symbols at the decoder, wherein the output symbols are derived from an ordered set of input symbols representing a data that is to be recovered, wherein the number of possible output symbols is much larger than the number of input symbols, wherein the total number of input symbols is estimated to be equal to K, wherein at least one output symbol is generated from more than one, but less than all, of the input symbols in the ordered set of input symbols; organizing the output symbols in the first set of output symbols at the decoder, wherein organizing the output symbols comprises: processing the output symbols in the first set of output symbols to recover input symbols at the decoder; and processing the recovered input symbols to recover the data that is to be recovered at the decoder.
