Abstract:
1. A method for processing a sequence of n-state symbols in binary form with a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR), the LFSR including a plurality of outputs to provide an n-state symbol in binary form, each output enabled to provide a signal representing a bit, comprising: performing the processing belonging to the group consisting of scrambling, descrambling and sequence generation; and as part of performing the processing belonging to the group consisting of scrambling, descrambling and sequence generation, applying the LFSR for processing the sequence of n-state symbols in binary form, each n-state symbol of the sequence able to assume one of n states with n=2 wherein application of the EQUALITY function by the LFSR in performing the processing belonging to the group consisting of scrambling, descrambling and sequence generation affects an output sequence of n-state symbols that is output by the LFSR.
