Abstract
A method and apparatus determines an uncoded bit error rate pbased on a target symbol error rate ε. The uncoded bit error rate pis determined based on a weighted series expansion of the target symbol error rate ε, comprising weights W that are a function of a maximum number of symbol errors that can be corrected t and a number of symbols in an information field K. The maximum number of symbol errors t and the number of symbols in the information field K is selected such that the uncoded bit error rate pthat produces a symbol error rate that is less than or equal to the target symbol error rate εis largest.
