Concatenated code[1]
Description
Also called a serially concatenated code [2]. Stub.
Decoding
Generalized minimum-distance decoder [3].

- Irregular repeat-accumulate (IRA) code — IRA codes can be interpreted as serial concatenated codes [4].
- Binary balanced spherical code — A binary balanced spherical code can be thought of as a concatenation of a constant-weight binary outer code with a shifted and scaled BPSK-like inner code.
- Polyphase code — A polyphase code can be thought of as a concatenation of a \(q\)-ary outer code with a PSK inner code.
