ABSTRACT:
A system and method for coding and decoding an information signal sent through a communication system. The system includes: an encoder for encoding the information signal without adding additional information and for sending an encoded information signal; and a soft bit decoder including a-priori information related to the communication system for receiving the encoded information signal and decoding the encoded information signal using the a-priori information.
