Abstract

See full text

A variable length coding system encodes and decodes symbols as uniquely decodable code words using an assignment scheme having a maximum code word length. According to one embodiment, a first bitstream is combined with a second bitstream to provide a resultant bitstream to be sent over a communications channel. The first bitstream represents the code words in a forward direction, and the second bitstream contains the same code words reversed and bit delayed by at least the maximum code word length. A resultant bitstream can be decoded in forward or reverse direction. The scheme is highly efficient for long blocks of data and the reversible aspect of the coding scheme improves the tolerance for errors caused by channel interference.
