It is proposed to use channel coding involving a plurality of concatenated coders and decoders in series and in parallel for coded transmission in which the efficiency can be adapted as a function of the requirements of a system and an application. The coders of the invention are convolutional self-orthogonal...http://www.google.de/patents/US6477678?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US6477678 - Method and device for error correcting coding for high rate digital data transmissions, and corresponding decoding method and device
