Abstract:
1. An apparatus for data processing in a multi-channel communication system, the apparatus comprising: at least one encoder configured to encode a number of bits for transmission via channels in the multi-channel communication system into coded bits and split the coded bits into a number of first groups of bits at a first ratio; a plurality of first rate units coupled to the encoder, each of the first rate units being configured to adjust one portion of the first groups of bits in size at least one rate; and a controller configured to assign the first ratio to the encoder and the at least one rate to each of the first rate units based on conditions of the channels, wherein each of the first rate units comprises the following components: a splitter configured to split the one portion of the first groups of bits into a number of second groups of bits at a second ratio; and a number of first matching devices coupled to the splitter, each of the first matching devices being configured to adjust one portion of the second groups of bits in size at a first rate, wherein the controller is configured to assign the second ratio and the first rate; or comprises the following components: a first matching device configured to adjust the one portion of the first groups of bits in size at a first rate; a splitter configured to split an output group of bits from the first matching device into a number of second groups of bits at a second ratio; and a number of second matching devices coupled to the splitter, each of the second matching devices being configured to adjust one portion of the second groups of bits in size at a second rate, wherein the controller is configured to assign the first rate, the second ratio and the second rate; or comprises the following components: a first matching device configured to adjust the one portion of the first groups of bits in size at a first rate; an interleaver configured to interleave an output group of bits from the first matching device; and a splitter configured to split an output group of bits from the interleaver into a number of second groups of bits at a second ratio, wherein the controller is configured to assign the first rate and the second ratio.
