Abstract:
A system for implementing dynamic encoding-error correction in a digital data transmission system, comprising:a transmitter adapted to encode user data into a signal; a receiver adapted to receive said signal and decode said user data encoded thereon, wherein said signal is transmitted from said transmitter to said receiver via a communications channel; a data type detector coupled to said transmitter, said data type detector adapted to detect a data type of said user data to be transmitted from said transmitter by observing said user data; a processor coupled to said transmitter, said processor adapted to implement at least a first encoding-error correction process and a second encoding-error correction process for said transmitter, wherein said second encoding-error correction process is of a higher capability than said first encoding-error correction process; and said processor coupled to receive said data type from said data type detector and dynamically select said first encoding-error correction process or said second encoding-error correction process in response thereto such that encoding-error correction employed by said transmitter matches said data type of said user data.
