    Abstract: A data block receiver for decoding a data block. The data block has a block sequence number (BSN). The data block receiver includes two de-interleavers, a memory circuitry, a combiner, a decoder, and an error detector. A first de-interleaver interleaves the data block to obtain a first de-interleaved data block. A stored data block with a BSN same with the data block is retrieved from the memory circuitry when the data block is not the newest data block. The second de-interleaver interleaves the retrieved data block to obtain a second de-interleaved data block. The second and the first de-interleaved data blocks are combined to form a combined data block. The decoder decodes the combined data block. The data block is stored when an error in the decoded data block is detected.
