A method for encoding a bit sequence is described comprising selecting a first coding block bit number and a first coding scheme; sub-dividing the bit sequence into at least one first bit block and a second bit block, wherein each of the at least one first bit block comprises the first coding block bit number of bits and the second bit block comprises less bits than the first coding block bit number; selecting a second coding scheme for the second bit block different from the first coding scheme; and encoding the at least one first bit block using the first coding scheme and encoding the second bit block using the second coding scheme.
