Data puncturing ensuring orthogonality within communication systems

A communication device, comprising:

• an encoder for encoding at least one information bit thereby generating a plurality of encoded bits;
• a processing module, including a puncturing module and a circular buffer, wherein:
• the puncturing module puncturing the plurality of encoded bits thereby generating a codeword including a first plurality of unpunctured bits and a first plurality of punctured bits;
• and
• based on the first plurality of punctured bits being passed back to the processing module, the puncturing module puncturing the first plurality of punctured bits thereby generating a second plurality of unpunctured bits and the circular buffer circularly shifting the codeword such that each respective bit thereof being shifted by a common amount, including wrapping around at least one bit from an end of the codeword to a beginning of the codeword, in accordance with generating a second plurality of punctured bits;
• and
• a transmit driver for:
• processing the first plurality unpunctured bits thereby generating and launching a first signal into a communication channel in accordance with a first transmission;
• and
• processing the second plurality unpunctured bits thereby generating and launching a second signal into the communication channel in accordance with a second transmission.
