Abstract:
1. A method for encoding comprising the steps of: encoding K blocks of information for transmission on N subchannels responsive to a number of redundant blocks M according to one of: i) employing a single parity check code when the number of redundant blocks M is about 1; ii) employing a code exhibited by a code graph having one third of variable nodes are connected to one of the check nodes, another one third of variable nodes is connected to the other check node and the remaining one third of variable nodes is connected to both check nodes, when the number of redundant blocks M is 2; iii) employing a first process for determining a code for the K blocks of information, when the number of redundant blocks M is about 3 together with K blocks of information less than about 150 or the number of redundant blocks M is about 4 together with K blocks of information less than about 20; and iv) employing a second process for determining a code for the K blocks of information with redundant block M values other than for steps i), ii) and iii).
