ABSTRACT:
The bits transmitted are coded according to the product of at least two systematic block codes. Iterative decoding is applied in order to determine, at each code word search step, a data matrix ({R}) and a decision matrix ({D}) used for the following step. The new decision matrix is determined at each step by decoding the rows or columns of the input matrix, and the new data matrix is determined taking into account the correction terms which increase the reliability of the decoding on each iteration. The coding and decoding circuits (17) are rendered programmable by a puncturing technique allowing selection of the number of bits transmitted per coded block, the punctured bits preferably having uniformly distributed positions according to each dimension of the matrices.
