Abstract
In staircase forward error correction coding, a stream of data symbols are mapped to data symbol positions in a sequence of two-dimensional symbol blocks B, a positive integer. Each of the symbol blocks has data symbol positions and coding symbol positions. Coding symbols for the coding symbol positions in each symbol block Bin the sequence are computed. The coding symbols are computed such that, for each symbol block Bthat has a preceding symbol block Band a subsequent symbol block Bin the sequence, symbols at symbol positions along one dimension of the preceding symbol block B, concatenated with the data symbols and the coding symbols along the other dimension in the symbol B, form a codeword of a FEC component code, and symbols at symbol positions along the one dimension of the symbol B, concatenated with the data symbols and the coding symbols along the other dimension in the subsequent symbol block B, form a codeword of the FEC component code. Thus, each row in [BB] and each column in for example, is a valid codeword.
