A method and apparatus for turbo coding and decoding is provided herein. During operation, a concatenated transport block (CTB) of length X is received and a forward error correction (FEC) block size Kis determined from a group of available non-contiguous FEC block sizes between Kand K, and wherein K≦K<Kand wherein Kis additionally based on X. The concatenated transport block of length X is segmented into C segments each of size substantially equal K. An FEC codeword for each of the C segments is determined using FEC block size K; and the C FEC codewords are transmitted over the channel.
