Abstract
An encoder encodes a block of information to be transmitted, to improve protection by adding redundancy. The redundancy permits decoding of the information from less than a complete encoded block of information. The use of a combiner with a decoder enables better decoding of symbols.
Claims12
A method of combining, comprising:
- encoding a set of bits;
- distributing a first subset of the encoded bits to a first station;
- distributing a second subset of the encoded bits to a second station;
- modulating the first subset of bits, the modulating creating a modulated first subset of bits;
- modulating the second subset of bits, the modulating creating a modulated second subset of bits;
- transmitting the modulated first subset of bits to a third station;
- transmitting the modulated second subset of bits to the third station;
- demodulating the modulated first subset of bits, the demodulating creating a demodulated first subset of bits;
- demodulating the modulated second subset of bits, the demodulating creating a demodulated second subset of bits;
- combining the demodulated first subset of bits with the demodulated second subset of bits;
- determining the first subset of bits and the second subset of bits based on the available communication resources of the first station and the available communication resources of the second station.
