Abstract
A method and apparatus for improving burst error correction. The method and apparatus involve transmitting block codes with interleaving, and predicting a burst error in the received block codes. Burst error prediction includes decoding received block codes and determining if the decoding is successful. The method includes receiving a code having an error correction capability, an erasure detection capability and a burst error length associated with it. A decoding step is performed to find an error in the code. The error has a length associated with it. The decoding is successful if the error length found is less than twice the error correction capability. If an initial decode attempt is not successful, then a burst error length is associated with the code and another decode is performed. The burst error length has an initial value that is less than the error correction capability. The burst error length is incremented by a predetermined amount after each unsuccessful decode until the burst error length exceeds twice the error correction capability, at which point the decode is assumed to have failed.
