1. A method for decoding a super FEC (forward error correction) signal while correcting errors in said super FEC signal, said super FEC signal having a predetermined frame structure, a predetermined overhead area, and a predetermined error correcting code, said method comprising the steps of:
repeatedly parallelizing said super FEC signal to G systems every L consecutive bits to generate G parallelized FEC signals;
detecting a framing pattern inserted in said overhead area to adjust a temporal sequence and a parallel sequence of said parallelized FEC signal to reconstruct a sequence of a scrambled inner encoded block; and
performing predetermined descrambling on said scrambled inner encoded block to reconstruct an inner encoded block, wherein L is a predetermined integer value and G is an integer indicating the number of systems.
