Abstract :
This letter shows how to extend packet/vector symbol burst error correction capability beyond prior known limits with the aid of soft information interaction with the inner code of a concatenated code. If the errors prove not to be in a burst, further correction still is possible with the aid of soft inner code information. Also, the soft information provides strong additional error detection.
