Abstract
Abstract A method characterized by distributing channel coding on either side of a limited capacity communication path (102) by partially channel coding (400) a signal at a first processing point (100) and communicating the partially coded signal over the communication path (102) to a second processing point (105). The partially coded signal is characterized by at least some but not all of the necessary coded bits. The channel coding algorithm is completed at the second processing point (105) using the communicated partially coded signal (401) thereby increasing throughput over the limited capacity path (102) while minimizing added delays.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
In a method for facilitating throughput of a signal over a communication path (102), of the type wherein at least a portion of a signal is communicated from a first processing point (100) over a limited capacity communication path (102) to at least a second processing point (105) and the signal is processed at the at least second processing point (401), the improvement characterized by: (a) partially processing at least a portion of the signal at the first processing point (400); and (b) continuing processing the signal at the at least second processing point (401).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of Claim 1 wherein partially processing is characterized by applying an algorithm to at least some portion of the signal to generate redundant data.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of Claim 2 wherein the applied algorithm is characterized by a channel coding algorithm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method of Claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein continuing processing is characterized by using an algorithm whose functional purpose is substantially related to the algorithm used in partially processing the signal.
