Abstract:
1. A system for augmenting a source message bit sequence with a synchronization sequence to facilitate better source decoding, the system comprising: a source message bit sequence; a source encoder, wherein said source encoder inserts at least one synchronization sequence into the source message bit sequence to create an encoded source message bit sequence and jointly decodes the encoded source message bit sequence, wherein the decoding of the encoded source message bit sequence is based on the at least one synchronization sequence, the at least one synchronization sequence being selected from a set of at least two defined synchronization sequences, the selection based on one or more characteristics of the source message bit sequence, said characteristics comprising weight modulo-q of the source message bit sequence, said weight modulo-q of the source message bit sequence corresponding to the remainder of the weight of the source message bit sequence divided by q, said weight corresponding to the number of bits in the source message bit sequence equal to 1; and a transmitter, wherein said transmitter transmits the source message bit sequence containing said at least one synchronization sequence.
