Abstract:
1. A method comprising: generating, by a processor, a message for transmission to a wireless terminal, wherein the message comprises a number of bits; partitioning the message into a number of symbols, each symbol being composed of a distinct equal length portion of the message; encoding the symbols via an FEC outer coding to generate a number of outer coded symbols; encoding each of the outer coded symbols based on an orthogonal sequence inner coding to generate a respective inner coded symbol, wherein each outer coded symbol is coded based on a distinct corresponding one of a plurality of binary orthogonal sequences; and modulating the inner coded symbols based on a binary modulation scheme, and pulse shaping the modulated inner coded symbols to generate a plurality of message bursts for transmission to the wireless terminal; and wherein each message burst reflects a group of a uniform number of the inner coded symbols, wherein the grouping of the inner coded symbols within the message bursts facilitates joint sequence detection by a receiver of the wireless terminal, and wherein each message burst exhibits relatively low peak-to-average power ratio.
