Abstract:
1. A method of decoding a bit sequence encoded by turbo code, the method comprising: dividing a first information frame including information bits included in the encoded bit sequence into at least two first sub-blocks; encoding, independently, each of the at least two received sub-blocks to generate at least two first redundant bit sub-blocks; interleaving the information bits included in the encoded bit sequence; dividing a second information frame including the interleaved information bits into at least two second sub-blocks; encoding, independently, each of the at least two second sub-blocks to generate at least two second redundant bit sub-blocks; dividing a third information frame including a first interleaved extrinsic information sequence, the information bits, and first redundant bits into, at least two first received sub-blocks; decoding, independently, each of the at least two first received sub-blocks; interleaving the information bits, after demodulation; dividing a fourth information frame including a second interleaved extrinsic information sequence, the interleaved information bits, and second redundant bits into, at least two second received sub-blocks; and decoding, independently, each of the at least two second received sub-blocks.
