Abstract:
1. A method of coding with a computing device a first plurality of p n-state symbols with p and n≧2 into a codeword of p n-state symbols comprising: inputting the first plurality of p n-state symbols on the computing device; inputting a second plurality of n-state symbols on the computing device; processing each of p corresponding n-state symbols in the first and the second plurality of p n-state symbols with a first n-state function to generate a third plurality of p n-state symbols; processing at least one set of corresponding n-state symbols in the first and the second plurality of p n-state symbols with a second n-state function to generate one or more n-state transfer symbols; processing the third plurality of n-state symbols and the one or more n-state transfer symbols with a third n-state logic function; and generating on an output of the computing device the codeword of p n-state symbols.
