Patent ID: 7296214

Claim:
A system comprising: one or more base stations comprising: an outer code encoder to generate an outer code based, at least in part, on a plurality of data elements using an (N,K) Reed-Solomon (RS) code over GF(2 m ), N being a length of the RS code, K being length of a message and m being a length of a symbol; an inner code encoder to generate an inner code based, at least in part, on the outer code using a (m+1, m) parity-check code; and a radio frequency transmitter to transmit a signal based, at least in part, on the inner code; and a plurality of customer premises equipment (CPE) stations, the CPE stations comprising: a radio frequency receiver to receive the signal; and a decoder to decode at least a portion of the data elements based, at least in part, on the received signal.
