Line 6:
In terms of encoding efficiency, Turbo Codes are the best known (as mentioned in the first paragraph). Bursty errors are usually handled by interleaving/rearranging the bits (as in read solomon's usage on CD's). Sorry I can't tell you which is most time-efficient.

== How turbo codes work ==
I think the emphasis of the How turbo codes work section is wrong: the focus is on soft-bits while this is not what Turbo codes made different, it is the fact that two codes in parallel (interleaved) are used. The soft decoding was already known before ([http://www-elec.enst-bretagne.fr/equipe/berrou/Near%20Shannon%20Limit%20Error.pdf]: "It is well known that soft decoding is better than hard decoding") [[User:Emvee|Emvee]] 20:43, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
