Abstract
A concatenated Forward Error Correction (FEC) code method, at an intermediate point, includes receiving, from an ingress point, a signal that is fully encoded with a concatenated FEC code, wherein the concatenated FEC code includes at least an inner code and an outer code; partially decoding the signal by decoding the inner code at the intermediate point; and transmitting the partially decoded signal towards an egress point where the partially decoded signal is fully decoded.
