Abstract:
A transmission system comprising a transmitter coupled via a transmission channel to a receiver, in which the transmitter comprises at least a first channel encoder for encoding source symbols into coded symbols, and in which the receiver comprises at least a first channel decoder for deriving reconstructed source symbols from the coded symbols received from the transmission channel, the transmission system comprising coding property setting means for setting at least one coding property of the at least first channel encoder and the channel decoder, wherein the transmitter comprises a further channel encoder for encoding the at least one coding property of the at least first channel encoder, in that the transmitter is arranged for transmitting the encoded coding property to the receiver, in that the receiver comprises a further channel decoder for obtaining the at least one coding property by decoding the encoded coding property, and in that the receiver is arranged for setting the at least one coding property of the at least first channel decoder according to the at least one coding property.
