System and method for processing wireless high definition video data using a shortened last codeword

A system for processing high definition video data to be transmitted over a wireless medium, the system comprising:

• a first module configured to receive an information packet having the length of L bytes, wherein L=(M×n×K)+A, and where:
• M is the depth of an interleaver,
• n is the number of interleavers,
• K is an encoding code length and
• A is the number of remainder bytes with respect to M×n×K bytes,
• wherein the remainder bytes are located at the end of the information packet, wherein M×n×K bytes represent M×n codewords, wherein the remainder bytes sequentially form a plurality of remainder codewords, and wherein the plurality of remainder codewords comprise a last codeword which is located at the end of the remainder codewords;
• an outer encoder configured to outer encode the M×n codewords and the plurality of remainder codewords based on the code length (K);
• a second module configured to shorten the last codeword such that the shortened codeword is shorter in length than each of the remaining codewords of the information packet;
• and
• a third module configured to add dummy bits to the outer encoded data so as to meet a predefined size requirement for the outer interleaver.

One or more processor-readable storage devices having processor-readable code, the processor-readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method of processing high definition video data to be transmitted over a wireless medium, the method comprising:

• receiving an information packet having the length of L bytes, wherein L=(M×n×K)+A, and where:
• M is the depth of an interleaver,
• n is the number of interleavers,
• K is an encoding code length and
• A is the number of remainder bytes with respect to M×n×K bytes,
• wherein the remainder bytes are located at the end of the information packet, wherein M×n×K bytes represent M×n codewords, wherein the remainder bytes sequentially form a plurality of remainder codewords, and wherein the plurality of remainder codewords comprise a last codeword which is located at the end of the remainder codewords;
• outer encoding the M×n codewords and the plurality of remainder codewords based on the code length (K);
• shortening the last codeword such that the resultant shortened codeword is shorter in length than each of the remaining codewords of the information packet;
• and
• adding dummy bits to the outer encoded data so as to meet a predefined size requirement for an outer interleaver.
