Abstract

The concept of code interleaving has proved to be a very useful technique for dealing with complicated communications channels. One of the most recent applications of this concept is the Golay-Viterbi concatenation scheme proposed for use on the Mariner Jupiter/Saturn 1977 Mission. In this paper a generalization of interleaving is introduced. When two or more codes are suitably combined using this idea, the decoding algorithm for the first code can supply information about the location of errors for the remaining codes, thereby reducing the redundancy requirements for these codes. k = Sk; over GF (p). The code is interleaved to depth M.
