Abstract:
A telecommunications system for detecting and correcting errors in transmitted data, comprising:a transmitter for receiving a block of data, segmenting said block of data into at least two data units, generating error detection codes and error correction codes for each of said at least two data units and combining all of said error correction codes into an error correction block; and a receiver for receiving said at least two data units, said error detection codes and said error correction block from said transmitter, determining whether any of said at least two received data units is in error using said associated error detection codes, removing said error correction codes associated with each of said at least two data units that are received correctly from said error correction block and correcting each of said at least two data units that are received in error using said associated error correction codes generated from a remainder of said error correction block.
