The embodiment of the invention discloses a joint
error correcting method and device. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a soft
demodulation output
signal sequence corresponding to a received
signal, and determining at least one
signal position to be corrected in the soft
demodulation output signal sequence according to the amplitude of a soft demodulated output signal, wherein an
error detection code is added into the received signal at a transmitting end in advance; performing hard decision on the soft
demodulation output signal sequence, and generating a decision signal sequence; and performing joint error correction on the decision signal sequence in combination with an
error checking technology matched with the type of the
error detection code and the signal position to be corrected. The scheme of the embodiment of the invention optimizes the existing error detection mechanism, so that the existing error detection
system can have certain error correction capability, thereby extending the
error correcting capability of the error detection
system on the basis that the existing error detection result is not affected.
