Abstract:
1. A wireless communication unit comprising: a receiver for receiving information from a remote transmitter unit, the receiver including a demodulator and a decoder, the demodulator for demodulating received data packets coupled to the decoder arranged to perform a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) on the demodulated received data packets and perform multi-protocol encapsulated (MPE) decoding thereon; wherein the decoder is arranged to perform iterative decoding on both data packets whose CRC indicates that the data packets are non corrupted and data packets whose CRC indicates that the data packets are corrupted and arranged to place MPE non-corrected CRC data packets into Reed Solomon (RS) code words; wherein the decoder comprises predictive logic for predicting section starts and section lengths of received data packets, detecting section length errors on the data packets whose CRC indicates that the data packets are corrupted, recognizing the detected errors as section length errors, and correcting, without use of CRC correction, the section length errors on the data packets whose CRC indicates that the packets are corrupted.
