Abstract:
1. A method of decoding a representation of a code word, the method comprising the steps of: (a) generating a plurality of sub-words from the representation of the code word, such that bits of at least a portion of said sub-words are disjoint; (b) serially decoding each said sub-word solely according to its own bits to generate a corresponding decoded sub-word, wherein the decoded sub-word comprises a binary bit value for each bit in a portion of the code word; and (c) if said decoding of one of said sub-words is terminated: modifying said decoded sub-word that corresponds to said one sub-word whose decoding is terminated, thereby producing a modified decoded sub-word, said modifying being the replacement of one or more bits in said sub-word whose decoding is terminated at least in part according to at least one decoded reconstructed bit in at least one other said decoded sub-word.
