Abstract

See full text

A digital transmission system wherein the transmitter applies a systematic convolutional code to the input data to generate a product code in blocks, with trellis closure by adding redundant data comprising a parity code bit. The thus coded data are then allocated to symbols that have undergone multidimensional digital modulation. At the receiver, iterative decoding is performed in cascade along two paths by computing hard decision reliabilities for each sub-set of the multidimensional digital modulation so as to produce soft decisions. The second path utilizes the results produced by the first path to form soft decisions. The soft decisions enable determination of output symbols. The invention also relates to a data protection method implemented in such a system.
